A fairly rare train wreck. :)

Seems to be a Forehand & Wadsworth Old Model Army Single Action in .44 Russian. This one came out of central America.
There were only a thousand or so made according to my weak Google skills.

What's it worth on the EE here?

There ya go, all fixed up. They are a nice gun.

Wow, if you use the right synthetic gun oil it can work miracles!

Nice! Do you shoot it?

I have shot the thing a while back, very nice to use. I think I was using .44 R.

With respect to the Luger, it was checked out by the police after it was found in the 1950’s (I think) and deemed to no longer be a firearm, as the story goes. I’ve handled it and it is nothing more than a paperweight, I don’t think there are ANY usable parts.

With the bureaucracy so gung-ho these days to jam gun owners up I think I'd want to have that "deemed" in writing on police/CFO/RCMP/CFC letterhead.

It may well be in writing.

That's a neat find. Any more of a story behind it ?

Good luck with that... Relax and don't worry about it.

Not really.
