Default Model 1 copy?

I wound up acquiring a few Mod 1 parts guns nothing complete all need help. Any how while looking one over I see, its not marked on the barrel, its got some kinda pressed in pattern, like vise jaws. The cylinder isnt the same, the pawl is shorter than the S&W so it wont work in a real S&W. The barrel is exactly .100 short. It has no maker, the serial number if it had one is not legible.

To bad its broken





Are knock offs of these common?

Thoughts?

I have an "American Standard Tool" copy of a model 1. The most obvious difference is the extra set of stop notches which allows you to lock the cylinder between chambers for safe carry fully loaded. I would not be surprised to find other copies either US or foreign made.

Good chance it's foreign copy. Best test is to try the screws in a real S&W Model 1, 3rd issue. S&W had it's own screw thread pitch and screws from a non-S&W won't fit. Ed.
