.455 Triplelock with History

Post by deadin » Thu Dec 17, 2015 12:22 pm

Here's a S&W .455 1st Model (Triplelock) that I used in a display to be entered at a S&W Collectors Association Symposium.

The theme of the Symposium was "If this Old Gun Could Talk" and it was awarded the trophy for the best theme display.

Excellent presentation and a well deserved First Prize, congratulations :D :D

I have a friend in Spokane Valley, Martyn Robinson of X-Ring Services (509)795-9918. He specialises in supplying British Military obsolete calibres ( .577, .577/450 and others). I have bought pre-formed Martini Henry cases and a mold from him but he is also a wealth of information.
