1. Very few of my rifles are for hunting even today. So I don't see a caliber matching revolver as illogical even back then.
2. I disagree that it's silly. We would have known then just like we know today or can guess which revolvers will likely be collectible: a special ordered cartridge chambering would be intuitively a future collectible. Just like we know today that any limited production run chambering or special model will likely be a collectible 100 years from now.
