Hi all, new member here.
Already looking for answers! I have a Frontier Scout pistol that was my Dad's. I've had it for quite awhile and am not too sure when he got it.
The pistol is marked 1769-California Bicentennial-1969 on one side of the barrel, COLT PTFA MFG HARTFORD CT USA on the top and Colt single Action frontier Scout on the other side of the barrel. So far so good. I've done some research on these and all the ones I look at are gold plated with wooden grips. Mine is nickel plated with faux stag grips. The trigger guard is brass. There is some gold plating on the muzzle crown. The grips have a Colt medallian in the grips. Also the left frame has the Colt stamp.
The bad news is, no case or paper work. He shot it and I have too.
So I am here looking for any info on this pistol as to why it is not like other California Bicentennial's I see.
Thanks!
Rick
