I am new to the site so bare with me please in getting everything correct.
I just inherited the attached revolvers and would like to see if anyone can help to identify them. I have been online trying to but have run into dead end. I am attaching pic of each so maybe that can help. I need mainsprings for both, showing them in pic. Would help if you could tell me where I might find them. I don't intend to fire them but would like to have them working mechanically.
Revolver 2 - the cylinder is off timing by 1/2 hole, can this be repaired?
Revolver 1
Top of barrel has - Wm Bishop 170 New Bond St London
Right side above trigger has - Adams Patent No. 31833 (? guessed)
5 shot Caliber ?
Revolver 2
Top of barrel has - no. 450
Right side above trigger has - 1654 Tranter Patent
Left side above trigger has - N80Z
6 shot Caliber ?
Thank you for any help.
