Default Model 1 2nd Issue

Hi all,

Just picked up a new highlight of my collection - Model 1, Second Issue. Serial number is in the 77XXX range. Stamp inside grip on wood matches. A lot of the silver plating still exists and isn't too tarnished either. Grips are good and not much pitting anywhere. The cylinder is in the roughest condition....can just barely make out some of the patent text, only July, really. Mechanics seem to be good as well, timing, lock up, hammer, etc.

Any way to date this? Haven't had any luck online....doesn't seem to be a serial number lookup like on the Colt webpage. Also, stupid question but....is the 'ejector rod' really an ejector rod? It doesn't seem to want to move at all, in, out, or twist, or otherwise. I don't know what it's supposed to do.
