Long story short, this is my daughter's current Boi-Toi's grandfather's revolver. Gramps is pushing 90 and his memory is about gone. Boi-Toi vaguely recalls many years ago that Gramps bought this revolver in the 40's and then had some 'work' done to it. Like going from a regular .38 to the .38 S & W Special. Patent markings/years on the barrel are dated between the 1900 & 1910's. There's an odd piece of curved plastic on the front/center of the grip & frame. New(old?) bluing is very nice, cylinder and timing seem to be fine, gun feels solid & real good in the hands. But something seems odd about it-----particularly the front portion below the barrel, that covers the right side of the shell ejecting rod. I searched Google images and could not find one similar anywhere. What say y'all?......
