Interesting so far.

I have spent hours on the 'net today and I am beginning to wonder if mine isn't possibly one of the Spanish produced variants. I have seen variations of barrel length from nearly 6" (151mm) down to, it looked like 3 3/4" or so. The "snubby" had the trigger guard. The officer's seems to be standard at 114mm, and the enlistedman's at 124mm.

The vast majority I have found were the Infantry or enlisted man's variant with the folding trigger. It seems the officer's variation with triggerguard are not nearly so common as the folding trigger guns.

There appears to be a lever of some sort in the front of the frame of your revolver, is that the latch for the folding trigger, or what?

One last question if you can help. I saw these referred to as the 1889a and 1889b. I assume one is the officer's and the other is the enlistedman's variant, but the references were not consistent as to which was which. Do you have any idea?

That group looks good for what the gun is, even for 10 yards!
