Answer
Hello Jeff. The Colt Army Special serial numbers contained 6 digits. Are you sure yours isn't 378970 ? If it is, it was manufactured in 1914. These came with Plastic or Walnut checkered grips. The auction prices I have seen are in the $600-$900 range depending on the condition. I don't know how many were made, but with a little investigation on your own you should be able to find this information. I hope this helps and thank you for asking for me. Charles Gage
