.38 auto revolver...NEED INFO!
« on: February 03, 2005, 08:44:12 AM »
:D  Hi, first post on curios & relics.  My father has a 38 auto revolver that he got from his dad. Octagon barrel. I belive it is completely stainless steel. It is d.a. only.  The revolver is in EXCELLENT shape! On the top is printed very clearly:  FCREHAND ARMS CO. WORCESTER MASS.   PAT. JUNE 8 1891.   The plastic handles, which are a dark chocolate brown, and also in EXCELLENT shape, have:  F&W, with kinda a furdeliss(spelling?) pattern on them.   Its a pin fire.  total length is 6.5"  ANY info about this gun is greatly appreciated!  Im having trouble finding anything on the net.  :roll:  Thanks, and God Bless!

This does not resemble any F&W in my books.  Being pin-fire and with a  fleur-de-lis motif, you may have a patent-infringing copy made in France.   :?

I have some pics on a disk, in jpg format, but don't know how to post them. I asked for help on the support pages, but didn't get any yet. If somebody could graciously post about how to download pics, I will get em posted! :lol:  God Bless!

It's American-made. chambered for the .38S&W round. The 'auto' refers to it's 'auto ejection' of empty cases when the action is opened.

I'm sorry, I don't know where I got 38 auto from, it is chambered for 38s&w,  but there is no action to open. The cylinder comes out like a S.A. revolver, but there is no "hatch" on the right. its just open for putting the shells in and shaking them out one at a time. No ejector rod. If somebody can tell me how to post pics in jpg format I will!
