Made in 1901. These were called "Tobacco Guns" as many were shipped to Tobacco Companies' clearing houses to be handed out as prizes when customers turned in enough tags from their purchased tobacco bags. That would be amazing if they handed out such prizes to loyal customers today.
Chambered in .38 Colt. It is functional. The MOP grips are genuine, but the letter did not specify the grips. Highly collectible piece of Colt history. For more pics/info text 3foursix-three64-zerozero8one.
