Yes,it looks like the London Nitro Proof with an dexter arm holding a scimitar. In addition it has the crown over the letters GP on the right side of the frame. I will be able to get a better look when the gun arrives. Thanks very much for the info!

Just purchased a S&W 1917 with the these marks on barrel. Any idea what they are, British proof marks maybe?

I just picked up a 52-1 with SN 58xx4. Sent for a wadcutter mold and hope to start shooting soon. I was on a division level pistol team and shot bullseye matches in the middle 60s. Might try it again if the gun shoots good and they welcome old guys.

Have not received it yet, will look when I do, Thanks

Just won a 27-2 8 3/8 " barrel revolver on Gunbroker. Wondering when it was made.

Nope, no C's on the cylinder or sides of frame. I don't think I want to know bad enough to pay the price of the letter. It is a good shooting gun and great for bowling pin shoots. Thanks for the replies.

Got a 1955 Target Model 25-2 that is nickle plated. Serial Number is N67XXX. I wonder if it came from the factory that way. I am guessing that a S&W letter would be the only way to find out.

Sorry, I knew it was needed, just got in a hurry. In any case it is ADK97XX. It does not have a pinned barrel.

Just purchased a 15-4 for $300. A low price locally but pretty beat up on the outside although it has a good bore and locks up tight. Wanted adjustable sights on it to shot light hand loads. Curious about the date of manufacture. I understand it is after 1983. Thanks

Just picked up a Smith 442 no dash, no internal lock serial number BPR 3152. Would like to know approximate date of manufacture and any other interesting info about it. Didn't do any research just snapped it up. I paid $325, I think a little steep but older models in excellent shape are...
