After telling an aquaintance about my 1889 antique he got me to take a look at his Granddads revolver.
Sadly other than the family history involved... as his granddad got it for breaking a horse...I fear it's not worth much. A mistreated old girl; who sadly enough isn't old enough. Serial's in 230000 range puts it at 1904ish by my reckoning. That and 38 L.C. is not the ideal caliber to wish for.
But on the upside it did help me to diagnose a problem with my 1889. A new cylinder latch is req'd for mine to lock up better.
Thanks Rooster, it's still a neat wheelgun.
