Default Re: Grounds For Divorce ... maybe ...

As a former collector of pre-WWII Colt double action revolvers, I can tell you that the "flat latch" is correct to to that gun. They do look a little crude for a Colt which, after WWI changed to the more recognizable rounded, knurled latch. After WWII Colt changed the latch again to a rounded one without knurling.
