It looks like a howdah pistol. And you are right it is perfect 19th century safari gear. They were large calibre and used in colonial India for hunting tigers as well as self defence against large game. I am not sure if any companies are making reproduction ones or not. Regards Kirk H.- Kirk H.

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I watched that, but it was hard seeing it set in London. I liked the other Marlowe movie he did, Farewell My Lovely. It was set in the 1940's and even had a young Stalone in it. Regards Kirk H- Kirk H.

After posting about Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, I had to watch it again. As soon as I got home from work last night at 11:00 I went to my man cave so I would not wake everybody and watched it again. I had not laughed like that in a while. Great stress releif. Kirk H.- Kirk H.

I saw your comment on the vintage holster. Have looked at Bell Charter Oak Holsters. The company is owned by Bill "lefty" Lewis who learned the trade from the late Chic Gaylord. They make some great vintage looking field holsters. Kirk H.- Kirk H.

Gene, that is a low serial number. As far as dating it, two things, the C serial numer series started 1948. The second thing is that I know that Smith used to offer a service where they would trace the history of weapon, when it was manufactured, who it was shipped to, etc. In 1957 S&W started...- Kirk H.

In ref to the the Schofield clone,that is a sweet looking revolver. I have not had the pleasure yet of shooting one, just the SAA's, and you are right the grip can shift around a little on those. How hard is it to find brass for the 45 S&W round? Kirk H.- Kirk H.

That looks like a nice vintage 1950's or early 60's model 10. You can't beat those old revolvers. It seems that the more you shoot them the smother they get. Are you going to put a Tyler T-Grip on it? Kirk H.- Kirk H.
