Hello to you all,
I would like to get information about my Smith&Wesson revolver I own and use almost every week at the shootingclub.
My father bought this revolver about 25 years ago in a gunshop overhere in Holland.
The seller told him it was quite a unique revolver because of the .22 conversion done by Parker Hale and that this was done to use the revolver for practice shooting for the soldiers during their training back in the 40´s.
What I would like to know is iff there´s anyone out there who has ever seen a conversion like this and knows iff the story about the training conversion could be true and any Info about the manufacturing date etc. would be very welcome to!
The frame has the Canadian acceptance mark C/|\ and is marked with the serialnumber 73687 and 737315
The arm holding th cilider 41695
The barrel and cilinder both also 737315.
While holding the revolver in your right hand.....on the left side of the barrel
it is stamped BNP underneath a crown followed by .22LR .610"
8Tons per (square)"
See pictures)
On the right side of the barrel there´s a portion machined out with the text " Parker-Hale
.22 conversion ( see pictures)
When my father bought te revolver it had pachymayer( something like that..) rubber grips and was missing the lug for the lanyard.
After I got it I bought the wooden grips of which I think are the original model (correct me if i´m wrong) and the missing lug.
Thanks!
