My first thread on this forum.
Reaching out to any Dance .36 revolver aficionados for additional information. About 6 months ago I acquired a Pietta Dance Firearms Co. Revolver .36 caliber BH/1996 SN C00013 from the collection of Dr. Jim L. Davis, Claremore OK (RPRCA). Dr. Davis passed last September and sold most or all of his collection to October Country (Idaho).
It is one of only 35 revolvers marked Angleton Texas on the barrel. These guns were commissioned by Tony Gajewski of Southwest Muzzle Loaders Supply (SMLS), Angleton Texas and produced by Pietta for only one year with a few variations.

I believe Tony was also involved with the Uberti production of similar revolvers in 1985, also a one-year run.
I am casting about (pun intended) for any info you folks may have about these guns. I have a thread about the replica Dance revolvers below, and appreciate any input:
