Hi guys. I know this is before our time or, at least, before our time for most of us. But I was wondering if anyone could give me an educated guess about the manufacturer of this old revolver. (The revolver, by the way, is long gone. I have no idea where it went).
The revolver belonged to my Dad. The one and only time that I handled it was when I was a little kid back in the 1950s. It was in my Grandfather's living room and both Grandad and Dad were right there. All I know for sure is that it was a .22 revolver with a nine shot cylinder. I also vaguely recall that it had a fairly long barrel, six inches or so but perhaps longer (no snide remarks here).
My Dad may have acquired it in the '30s but I'm not sure. I do know that he killed a hawk with a .22 in the Don Valley in Toronto way back in the 30s because the stuffed hawk was on my bedroom dresser for many years. He may have done the deed with this revolver.
Anyway, can anyone hazard a guess at what manufacturer may have made a .22 nine shot revolver back in the 1930s! AND, would any of these be available for sale today? I would love to acquire one. Thanks in advance.
