Nice old revolver. I have a 4 in 1918 that definitely hasn’t been refinished and it doesn’t have any markings on the frame. I think these years didn’t have any but I’m not sure.
It may not be refinished. Anyway thanks for sharing
I`m sure this one has been refinished. The side of the frame has been buffed down enough that the pins protrude on the left side.
Hi Shep hope Retirement is getting better and better ,we're you a mechanic or train driver ,anyway just wondering if modern ammo is used in that 1916 Revolver, seems quite accurate
Did several different jobs over the years. But mostly running/programing CNC controlled lathes and mills.
Guns from this era are fine with modern 38 Special ammo. But avoid high pressure (+P) ammo. These guns are big enough to handle +P ammo, but the cylinders and forcing cones were not heat treated to handle those kinds of pressure levels.
S&W didn`t start rating their K38 revolvers for +P ammo until up into the 1970s.
