A) Unmarked Pinfire Revolver with Holster

No maker markings, possibly Spanish. The number "14" is stamped on the frame under the left grip panel, trigger and cylinder. Checkered two piece grips and lanyard ring on the butt. With a leather holster.

ConditionVery good. The revolver retains 40% original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. There is some minor pitting (more extensive on the grip straps). The grips are very good with a repaired right panel, the tops crudely shaped, a small missing chip near the frame (left panel), and some wear in the checkering. Mechanically fine. Holster is good.
