Kid Kneestone SASS #14851 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 A friend has a single action revolver in his shop that we can not identify? It is well worn and has been buffed and/or bead/sand blasted that removed all vestige of markings from the piece. The one unusual (to me anyway) feature is it has only two screws in the frame: one for the hammer, and one for the trigger and bolt. The firing pin is fixed in the hammer. Can anyone suggest a maker that has similar features? Much obliged for any information you might provide me. Kid Kneestone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Several pics in Photobucket with links here may be helpful. Caliber? Right now there's just not enough info to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless Bob Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 As said already, pictures would help, but being the frame has only 2 screws, I would start my guess with it being a Remington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cent Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Does it have the 1875 Outlaw web between frame and barrel? Come to think about it, it could be the 1890 Police model. http://www.uberti.com/firearms/outlaw-frontier-and-police.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Texas Jack Black Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It could be a ray gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Flimshaw Sass# 73310 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Serial numbers removed also? if so it sounds like you don't want it in your shop.......Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Doc is correct. It is illegal to posses any firearm with the serial numbers obliterated. Your friend had best turn it over to the ATF or his local police. If his "shop" is a gun store he should know better and should have notified the police immediately. Grant you, some guns in the 1800s & 1700s were made without serial numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Hand Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I thought serial numbers weren't required on firearms until the 1968 GCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal #64218 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yes, it is true, firearms made before the GCA of 1968 were not required to have serial numbers. But if the firearms had them, it is illegal to remove, change or obliterate the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the firearms had them, it is illegal to remove, change or obliterate the number. Until the OP postrs some pictures, we don't know if the pistol ever had a serial number or not. Since the "friend" has a shop, it's reasonable to think that he is either a FFL dealer or gunsmith. The question is why/how he accepted a pistol without or with a removed serial number.

G #1840 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Tere were a lot of cheap Spanish and Belgian guns that found their way here. It could be one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
