    Hello Everyone Hope your all having a great Labor Day !!

    Looks like a S&W new model #3 frontier. Good luck.

      Looks like a S&W but the no markings implies a European copy.

          Thank You for the Info !
          My fathers-father, when he was in the United States Immigration Service back in El Paso, sometime around the 1900's had come across this pistol. So I have no knowledge on what this is exactly as far as the make and this revolver has no markings other then the #9402.
          Thank you for your time .... Appreciate any help !

            I don't understand. Is he being forced out for being an ammo-grabbing fascist or for being a failure as an ammo-grabbing fascist?

              My fathers-fathers-brother's friend said he misplaced that pistol during the same time and place you mentioned. Now he says he wants it back.

                Yes its a S&W but not sure what model. I have an old Model 1 S&W and its got very small faint markings on the top rib on the barrel. You can barely see then. Check real good in that area for markings.
