There are no S&W markings on receiver or barrel

Hi.... I was looking at a "Smith and Wesson Model 1500" made by Howa. There were No S&W markings anywhere on the metal, just in grip cap and recoil pad. I was wondering if this is indeed a Smith and Wesson, or an "ordinary" Howa in a Smith-marked stock. Any comments appreciated. Thx

I recently acquired an early .455 Triple Lock. I love it but it does have a couple drawbacks (which help put it in my price range). Markings indicate it was probably part of a January 1915 shipment to Britain. Certainly not in collector condition but remaining bluing shows how great it must have...

That is one lovely revolver. I have not seen one any where near that condition

BTT Please

Hi..... I have a beautiful solid oak display case originally custom made for two Smith and Wesson revolvers. These were a Model 14 and a Model 19-3, both with 6" barrels and fitted with Badger combat grips. These revolvers are not for sale with the case. Dimensions are 16 1/2" x 11 3/4" x 4"...

WW1 British Holsters BTW, here is a picture of a .455 HE and flap holster.carried through WW1 by a Lt. in West Sussex Yeomanry. Also photo from "Revolvers of the British Services 1854-1954) showing open holsters for the Webley Mk VI, carried by two Corporals

Roy did not say where revolver shipped. Probably need a letter for that' Thx

Hi Folks.... I have here a .455 Hand Ejector Mk.2 Mod.2 Apart from the somewhat obvious sighting changes it is in original good condition; tight lockup , good trigger and shoots great with my 260 gr. handloads. It has no military marks at all. Does seem to me unusual to have a pinned front...

Hi folks... recently obtained a .45 H.E model 1917 Brazilian contract revolver. Usual "less than pristine" condition for these models, but seems to be a decent shooter. It has the Brazilian crest over the date 1937. Roy says it was shipped March 1946. The interesting part is the serial number...

Thanks folks.... Now a "Veteran" Not bored for .38 Special. Serial V182709 Marked "United States Property" on topstrap

Hi... Recently acquired this Victory in .38 S&W. She looks like there has been a lot of "clean up" performed but locks and shoots well; bore is fine. British marks on the frame are practically gone but some show on the bottom of the grip frame. ( Not sure what they indicate). Grips are stamped...

Thanks very much. So great to have this forum
