I have to ask Chad....how does that one date to 1891 with a transverse cylinder pin release? Some things make me scratch my head!Now an old boy (1891) with very good timing View attachment 101968
Yes you are right: tranverse pin is from 1896! But this one is like that, and for me it's also a mystery. The gun has a good looking appearance but I doubt it is born like that! When I bought it I was not careful of that. Good remark and good looking you have.I have to ask Chad....how does that one date to 1891 with a transverse cylinder pin release?
