Just the same initials, that’s all. No known relation. A friend found the gun, called me and told me I needed to have it. He picked it up and sent it to me.

I understand that these guns were made in New Haven on special order only and that fewer than 8,000 were made. I’ve only seen one other Colt Mod 1883.
