Its got a four-inch smooth barren but still hits the bull at 10 feet. Frame is made of antimony and the barrel and cylinder are good quality steel. Came with a steel rod to aid in reloading. It is with this pistol that I learned all my shooting. The original bluing is gone but its still a looker.

I LOVE It... thank you Dad.
As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Essdee, I guess its going to coincide with Tirpassion's next visit to Kolkata... :D

Yes Yes Yes, I would sure love to sip some beer and relax on the sofa and watch others cleaning my guns ... a luxury I never had and a thought that keeps me away from my guns these days... ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL
