I am surprised that Colt let this out of their shop in 1924. I guess you would need to weld it up and start over.  |

Wow! I cannot fathom how this could be missed at the factory, if it occurred there. Likewise, I cannot see how it could have happened after leaving the factory.

Looks like it would be easy to just hog it out a little wider

If I was makin lemonade out of it I'd figure it was a perfect time to adjust windage.

+1 on lemonade! I see the opportunity for an adjustable sight!

Perhaps it was ordered that way??? Many of the older concealment revolvers of the 20’s and 30’s had small sliver notches as I recall.

I'm not seeing anything amiss. If You're talking about the V notch rear, that was standard until 23/24

If I see what I think I do, a small end mill in a milling machine

If I see what I think I do, a small end mill in a milling machine I think you are right. Alan Harton would make it disappear and look right as rain. |

I wouldn't do anything, it made it 100 years that way, leave it alone. Beside, that makes it very rare.  Of course the reason it lasted all these years could be because it didn't get used because they couldn't hit anything.  |

The wavy black line appears to be case carburizing on the left side of the flute. If this visual is incorrect, please explain the physical flaw. David Bradshaw |

David Bradshaw I’ve been watching this thread thinking the same thing. The notch measures to be in the center of the top strap groove. If anything the hammer cutout might be a little off but from one picture where the gun is tilted to the right it’s hard to tell   |

Thanks, all.
I suppose it's potentially an illusion created by the color flow.
