Default Austin Behlert or Jovino

Looking for the forum's opinion on which person made this fine firearm. Caliber is 45 ACP and is marked 25-2. Thanks for looking.

The smooth curvature of the underlug is a signature sign of Jovino's work.

Agreed, the rounded off underlug is a sure sign of a Jovino revolver.

Does it have a crane detent locking feature? As I recall Belhert used this when the barrel mounted locking point was not possible.

I don't see any modification to the crane. Thanks for all the replies.
