Hello All
This is my first post. I've been a member for years . I read the board all the time. I thought you might like to see a gun that just came my way.
Wasn't looking for a Triple lock. But couldn't turn it down. Serial # 57xx. Backstrap engraved with first owners name and then RFC(Royal Flying Corps). Bought it from The Estate of first owners son.

Pics???? I love to see TL's

I guess I need your help figuring out how to post picture. I have them on Photobucket. Thanks John

In photobucket, pass your mouse-pointer through a picture, and a
drop-down menu will appear. Move your pointer down to the image
line, and left click. That will highlight it. With your pointer on the
highlighted address, right click, then click copy.

Then, come back here to your posting, edit it, find a line where
you want to put the address, right click, and then click paste.

That will create the pointer in your message. Save the message, and the
picture will appear when someone reads the message.

Later, Mike Priwer

You got very lucky! Nice find! Welcome aboard!

welcome to the fourm..

is or was your T-lock converted or still in .455?
it looks to be orgional and not messed with and those stocks/grips are fantastic looking..

mine was rechambered to .45ar sometime in it's life..still get's shot a few times a year..and Serial numbered about 700 away from yours..

I'm going to have to get it lettered one day...

That is one nice TL!!!

Jack Flash · #13 01-07-2010, 11:45 PM

Very nice pictures. It is in fabulous condition for its age. I imagine that you see a lot of them in Canada that have been left in their original chambering.

j38 · #14 01-08-2010, 12:23 AM

Congratulations! That's a very clean example of a TL. Enjoy,

Jerry

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the photos. Can you dig up more history on your revolver? It seems like it has a story to tell.

Texas Star · #17 01-08-2010, 09:30 PM

His family and he certainly took excellent care of that gun! Congratulations.

That TL would've definitely been hard for me to pass up. Glad it found ya.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum. Very nice find beautiful Triple. There a blast to shoot but you'll need to load your own as 455 ammo is very expensive here in Canada if you can find it. I have the 2nd model that i shoot quite a bit its a fun gun. If you have any questions in loading for this firearm you can PM me Enjoy your new find....
