Did Colt make a 44 40 pistol?

Colt Frontier Six-Shooter was the actual name of the Colt pistol model, and this was acid-etched on the left side of the barrel. After 1889, the legend was roll-stamped until 1919, when the caliber designation ". 44-40" was added.

Just to add a little tidbit to Bonnie's great lead.
