Need help finding service history of first batch Colt Army M1892
I have this gun for quite a long time, over the years I’ve been trying to find the service history of this double digit S/N59 M1892. The gun itself is in good operational condition, with mostly matching assembly number except the cylinder.
Since this is the very first batch that was delivered to the Army in 1892, this gun was likely used in US Spanish war and the Philippines war. Beyond that I wasn’t able to find which troops this gun was issued to.
As far as I know, the lowest S/N searchable on the internet was around 70s, so this gun would effectively be the oldest surviving example in private collections even though it had the safety block modification done.
If anyone knows how or can help me search the service and issue history of this gun, I would greatly appreciated
Thank you
