In the mid-50's, the British Service Revolver pattern was being widely offered in the U.S. in unaltered form. I've attached a sampling of advertisements from that era. Some are unintentionally humorous, such as the one in which a Colt 1917 is inadvertently illustrated, or another in which the .38 S&W cartridge is touted as "powerful".
