    Yet Another Piece of Old Iron!

    I bought this one many years ago from a German Veteran when I was living in Germany. He claimed to have captured it while fighting on the Neva River Front. It is a 3rd Model Smith & Wesson .44 Russian Model and was made sometime around 1878. The SH inside the diamond is tha mark for Schuyler Hartley and Graham, who were the civilian exporters for the Russian Government so his story is plausible.

              Interesting and the story does sound plausible. See no reason why it still wouldn't have done the job as long as ammo was still available threre then, Ray

                Hi Ray,

                There are a few photographs of Russians using these during the war and they will definately do a number on you if they hit you. Which is pretty likely actually, this revolver type had a reputation for extreme accuracy and with a 246 grain bullet the results wouldn't be pretty.
