Well I made it over...Thanks Mr Goony......I myself have recently fell into the Spanish copy pit,which is really a cool copy of the Frontier...The best I can find out is that the gun was made in the WWI era (1915 Contract. these were made for England by the three Hermanos brothers) and is in 455 cal. Across top of barrel is Smith Pattern Made in Spain. on right side is the trade mark of Guisasela Hermanos of Eibar Spain. Checking my proof mark book shows a Crown over CP (London Eng) & a Crown over V (shows London Proof) this is in the barrel. The Crown over V also shows on frame near break latch and cylinder...frame, barrel,and cylinder show a 50 which I'm guessing is a serial number....what I can't find in any book is on the back strap is C4E9...also on back strap an L over 34 (which I am guessing is the newly formed 34th Division at the time)....can anyone elaborate further on this weapon ....thanks
