Here's a few pic's of one of my Army Model 1917's (Colt). From what it appears this one has " Been There". It's strange that the frame was parked at one point but the (obvious replacement) Sideplate, Cylinder, & Crane are blued. They all tie together with Remarked Serials. Originals have been X'd out. Frame is marked with RIA & FK for rebuild & Flaming Bomb. - but did RIA or Colt remark the serial ? All other acceptance & U.S. stamps are in place.
