Two more- another .44 Russian and a I don't have the faintest idea. The first, in .44 Russian, is marked on the rib "Galand Paris" (maker or seller?). I have never seen that action on any other pistol. The second is unmarked, for a pistol-length cartridge of about .42 caliber. I can't find my cast or notes at the moment, but I was not able to ID the cartridge in any of the US or European guides. I'm guessing modified from some rifle action I don't recognize. Also, it has gain twist rifling. My gut feeling is American. Apparently not target, not military- a nineteenth century plinker?
