    The Atlanta Police 1878 .44-40 arrived today!! (Pics)





    It even has a trace of the fire blue on the trigger.




    Here are the markings:





    This was one of the 1st 30 shipped to Atlanta on March 5,1889 according to Wilkerson's book. I am very happy its' journey is over and it is HOME again!!!
