No Colt sale record?
JEEP said:An original belgian Liegi derringer with detatchable barrel and box-lock. Marked "LEG" in a circle with a star.
Some of these were actually "breech-loaders" of sorts; the loading would be done by unscrewing the barrel and loading bullet and powder into a "chamber" at the rear end.
All three guns are good representations of the common consealed self-defence firearms popular in the early to mid 19. c.

Lucky Strike said:And welcome to the Forum! Edit; oops sorry, Lounge
JEEP said:The gun you are showing looks a lot like an early "Kronborg" pistol converted with a lock inspired by the danish/sweedish remington rolling block. But actually I have never seen that pisto before. Do you know more about it? It looks quite interesting.

David Conwill said:I have a Columbian Navy Madsen Model 1947 (sorry, no picture) that I dearly love. I would like to build a complete collection of US WWII and WWII firearms: M1903 Springfield, M1917 Enfield, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M1911, M1917 S&W revolver, S&W Victory Model, etc.
Perhaps one of you fellows can tell me - what model revolver to Chicago police officers carry? I'm thinking they're .38 caliber Colts, but I'm not certain.

HeadHunter said:The Chicago Police Department has never issued weapons. There is a list of approved weapons from which officers may choose and purchase. The officer has to be able to qualify with it, of course.
carebear said:Yes, any K frame grips, new or old, should fit just fine. You'll need to figure out if your (future) Mdl. 10 is a square or round butt though.
The grip frame you show for the "old grips" is the square.
Also, you should be able to get a pencil barrel Mdl. 10 or M&P rather than the heavy barrel (in your rubber gripped picture) if you look a little.
