My dad finally went and took some pictures of his colt-patterson. Barrel is only 3 inches long, caliber .28. This was the first model colt-patterson made (1837). Serial number is somewhere between 1 and 500. Story is that my grandmothers great-grandfather gave this gun to her, and she gave it to my dad.
