I saw this one on Gunbroker and needed to make a bid on it. It looked to be in excellent shape and a snubnose to boot. I received it today and I wasn't disappointed. Nice and tight with most of the original nickel intact. I cleaned up the bore and chambers and the chambers are clean and the bore still has strong rifling with a bit of pitting. Honestly it looks like someone fired 6 rounds through it and didn't clean it but never shot it again. Here are some pictures of it with the other one I bought a while back. My other one was originally blue and pretty well worn and pitted. And very loose. You will notice some subtle differences between the two revolvers as well which I found interesting. Serial number on the blue one is 8325. Number on the nickel one is 4004.

Pardon my ignorance, but what cartridge?

.32 Short rimfire. F&W also made a larger version in .41 Rimfire called the "Swamp Angel"

I have a similar F&W in 38RF. Ivan

Very cool!

Yes the "Bulldog" was what they called the .38 version of this style of revolver. I hope to get all three eventually.

Nice revolvers. Its pity they do not have the loose ejectorrod wich in the hollow cilinderax. I do have the Swamp Angel.

Nice guns! You sure have an eye for good stuff.
Thanks for sharing.

You want to sell it?

One thing about these is that the little rod that goes inside the cylinder pin is almost always missing.

Theres been a Swamp Angel for sale on Gunbroker for a while now for $400 that I have considered. The finish is pretty good but it's missing the front sight blade and sounds like it need a hand spring. So I haven't pulled the trigger on it. It does have the rod in the middle of the cylinder pin. though.

Here is the Swamp Angel with some friends.
I am after a couple of early shifts to pooped to make some new pictures.
