ELG without a crown is blackpowder. Is it a .410 or perhaps one of the garden gun calibers?

As a general rule, no. On a practical level putting rubber grips on magnum revolvers and attacking Glocks with a Dremel tool are on the menu.

The crowned oval with ELG signifies nitro proof. Absent the crown would be blackpowder.

That open "C" near the rear of the flat, if it is stamped 12-70 it is 2 3/4 inch chambers. If stamped 12-65 then it is a 2 9/16 inch chamber (at least at time of proof). RST of Pennsylvania offers the short shells. Lengthening the chambers in this piece should be considered in light of...

Had modern import markings entered the equation, I too would be leaning in that direction. This was purchased as a project, for the foreseeable future the cartouche will be preserved.

It is a fairly pedestrian BSA boxlock, not yet in my possession. I am imagining it spent WWII in Oriental hands; later liberated? It was my hope someone would recognize the stamp. Thanks for looking.

Any clues on this one?

Volley fire had very legitamite role until reliable light aircooled machine guns were available for use in an advance. Large watercooled pieces were largely relegated to a prepared defensive position.

Check the serials on the cylinder and barrel for clarification, no B's. The U.S. Service Cartridge until 1909 was the .38 Long Colt (the parent of the .38 Special, a tad shorter). My guess is that you are in the 1906-1909 period. Note a tiny B will be found underneath the barrel (only) of...

A thousand or so and you get a new gun.

Once in a great while, I'll take one of the Old Uglies out for a walk.

If you crossed an RG with a Charter the result is............... I'd look elsewhere.

1955

Look at RC's photo. That is 4" measured from cylinder to muzzle. A British Service Revolver V serial in that range should be 5" long. The grips should be smooth and the butt swivel should be in place. Even conservative shopping will not bring the parts home for under $50. I am not as...

No guts no glory! Light 'em up!

A couple of vets Honest wear? Age?

Webley Mark I 1887

Osterreich (Austria), Waffenfabrik (Weapons factory), geshaft (firm/company), Steyr. W.D.M. "Karamoja" Bell a professional ivory hunter used one of these in 6.5x54MS with 180 gr. RN to great effect.

The proofs appear to be in that post 1891 BP/Nitro era. I would bet on the .320 cartridge as well.
