Model 1917 converted to .44 Special

I'll add to Gil's information that the only JE Darlows I found all lived in the first half of the 20th Century in England, plus one in Missouri that I would have had to pay to view the article...Also the star on the bottom of the grip frame means it went back at least once to the mothership for unknown reasons...A letter and a deep dive might reveal more......Ben

I only wish the barrel was and inch shorter....

Odd that it was cut to that length - not a bad thing, and especially since it was done well. Wonder if it was a 5" or a 6 1/2" prior? Can yall tell from the patent markings on top? Nice gun!

I like the chopped N frames too. Here's a 1917.
