Umm it's old--looks military with the lanyard loop. I would say black powder. On the style of a Webly, Short cartridge--455?--38 Colt, Not a top break.

Do I know what it is--NO

I found it Grey Wolf. It's a Model 1889 Type II Bodeo, 10.4mm.
This weeks $50.00 purchase,

Now I have to make some 10.35 cases out of 44 mag brass and figure what to use for 10.35 Boolits

Looks like a Belgian folding trigger revolver but the grip and trigger are different. French? German?

Thanks Budrow. That came at a good time:violin:

This was the conversation this morning about a picture someone pasted a VCDL patch on a solder and put it out for braggin rights.

You may use photoshop every day, but you apparently don't know jack about photography.

But hey, since you are the conpsiracy theorist who insists that it looks fake to you, I'll give you a chance to address the obvious question: why would Reuters or Der Spiegel photoshop a VCDL patch onto a US Military member or, alternatively, how they would have ended up with a such a photoshopped picture on their site?




The worst thing about the internet is I haven't figured a way to hit someone over the wire.

Actually, I'm having some trouble with my eyes this morning. The grip has some ghosting I missed.

This is the way I wanted it to look.
