World War I S&W Find a Home
« on: January 18, 2007, 01:45:14 AM »
Hello
I recently picked up this second series .455 mark II revolver. I was told it Sold in March of 1916. I have received an update from the seller, regarding this revolver and he shared with me it was issued to a Canadian Pilot and flew mission's for Britan in World War I. It Later had the Micro Adjustable sights added, and the cylinder throats reamed to .45 Colt Caliber. A recent range target practice showed it is capable of very tight groups despite it's 90 Year age. Regards, Hammerdown

Hello
I Pulled the Original grips off this old War Horse, and refinished tham this week. I feel they look decent for being 90 Years Old. Hammerdown
