Brooklyn Arms Co. Slocum Sliding-Sleeve Revolver. Not a infringement on the Rollin White patent, but a Evasion to circumvent the patent held by Smith & Wesson. A unique design with individual chambers in the form of sliding tubes within cutouts on the cylinders. Chambers slide forward on at a...

The Peerless Model 1 Version 2 handcuff was the last of the “Single Elongated” chain link joining the right & left hand cuffs together and also the last to have MFGD. BY SMITH & WESSON stamped on them. The Version 2 was also the first to have the Peerless logo stamped on them. The word TRADE was...

February 20th is National Handcuff Day. February 20, 1912 was when George A Carney was granted his patent no. 1,017,955 on his new "swing-thru arm" design for a new handcuff. James M. Gill purchased this patent and on June 22, 1914 and started the Peerless Handcuff Co. After James Gill met with...

I posted this on the S&WCA members side awhile back, but thought I would share it here on the public side. In 1952 S&W introduced their own line of handcuffs that were just referred as "A New and Improved Model". Model numbers were not assigned to their line of handcuffs until 1958 and this New...

In the 1970's (majority of the boxes I have seen have a 1970's date), S&W manufactured handcuffs specifically for the military. I have seen one box a few years ago that had a Model 95 stamped on the box. I have never seen a brochure or catalog that advertised these handcuffs, so by seeing one...

For several years I have been interested in the relationship of Smith & Wesson and their manufacturing handcuffs for the Peerless Handcuff Company. This relationship started in 1914 and lasted until November 1940. For anyone who would like to participate, I would like to see photos of Peerless...

Sometime ago, I received a box, from Don & Roy, full of Smith & Wesson Printer Blocks that were used in S&W brochures & advertisements. The majority of them were of handcuffs. I thought some of you that collect handcuffs might enjoy seeing them. Dave

I have my Grandfather's .32 Single Action, serial number 7692, blue finish, smooth walnut grips, barrel markings with the V-shaped patent dates on the top strap, all numbers match. The unusual characteristic of this revolver is that it has the internal eccentric stain screw that was seen in...

I've noticed a few post on Remington Rolling Blocks, so I thought I would share one of mine. This is a Remington Saddle Ring Light Baby Carbine, chambered for the .44 RF cartridge with an 18" barrel (the majority were chambered for the .44-40 cartridge and had a 20" barrel). The overall length...

Can anyone give me an approximate manufacture date of this box of S&W .44 Russian ammo? Thanks, Dave

I thought I would share a rather rare model of the .38 Single Action Third Model (Model of 1891). This is a .38 S.A. Mexican Model, serial no. 18691, 4" barrel, with a factory installed lanyard ring, flat sided hammer with no half cock notch, inserted spur trigger not integral to the frame, and...
