New to posting, been a member for a few years, so bear with me if I miss something.
I purchased the pictured revolver out of Pennsylvania a couple years ago, have even shot a couple cylinders full through it after I got it. Never even looked it over in some of the confined areas and totally missed some markings that I have never seen before. The barrel flat, bottom strap and a mark on the face of the cylinder are all pictured. Hope someone can decipher what all these mean. By the way, I did not enhance the markings on the bottom strap (not that someone before me couldn't have), they are that well defined. Hard to miss, but I sure did. The hammer spur is also appx .380" at the spur with what I would describe as target depth crosshatch pattern and the trigger isn't serrated, but smooth and flares out to appx .330" wide. The side plate screws look unmolested, so not sure what this all means. The grips are not original to the revolver, all other serial numbers match. Considering a letter, but would like to try the wealth of knowledge here first.
