Just some pics of the new addition.
It's been shot a lot and was put away dirty. I'm sure she needs a thorough cleaning. Her hammer has been bobbed. She only fires in three of the chambers (right now). She's in a good home now. Barrel wrench, new hammer and a spare cylinder are on order. We'll she how she does after a thorough cleaning.

It looks even better than it did in the auction pics, way to go!
I'm sure it will run great once you get it cleaned up & some new parts installed.

The more I see that bobtail the more I like it. It's kind of unique. Once you get that new cylinder in it and get all adjusted and in sync it should do fine.

I didn't outbid you. Someone else outbid us both! I hated that. The next best thing to wearing it is to have a pic of it. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen one before. It could have been custom made.

That looks to be in very good condition, Dose not look to have been
shot much at all. Not only dose the cylinder look very clean but the
crane pivot joint dose too. Curious why your ordering a new
cylinder ?

It's a guess on my part based on three barrels, all of which have been shot, wear on the top of the shroud from going in and out of a holster, carbon rings in the cylinder indicating shooting 38 specials through supermags, the red ramp sight has a coat of paint, the bob job not particularly well done and the lockup is not as tight as my 22.
I could be wrong. It may have less than a thousand rounds but never had a cleaning. The trigger was fairly stiff at first. It loosened up some with just a few rounds. On the good side, the flame etching is minimal.
My plan on the second cylinder is to keep it for the supermags and use the current cylinder for specials and magnums. I have no idea if that is smart or not. I'm just anal enough to do it.
All in all, she's a ggod gun. She's got a lot of life left in her. She just needs some TLC.
