I suggested that he take them to a gun show with a lot of pre WWII Smith collectors in attendance. Maybe someone would have a RB Lady Smith he could compare them to . Years ago I had a friend in Franklin Tennessee (Charlie Haffner) who had one of each of the different Lady Smiths in a display cabinet in his gun shop. Seems like he had one with a round butt and they appeared to be somewhat smaller than an I frame grip. I'm just curious about them .
