More photos of Distributors
**** Notice maximum barrel length offered for the S/A 38 is 5" in 1884?
**** Also Henry Squires (No sons yet) in 1876 catalog offering the Baby Russian for sale?
*** Perhaps we can start to imagine different box types related to the various Distributors?
I have so many more books from Distributors that clearly show Smith & Wesson revolvers for sale. Throughout production and always complimenting them as the Best Revolvers made in the World! It's daunting.
*** Also, if I was to compile say my research on "Express Guns" into this mix? We would prove that several thousand were sent to other Distributors besides M. Robinson. That includes Boston and Chicago offices directly from the Factory by order of the Express Purchasing Agents.
That's only one single avenue of research.
