Great detective work! Viggo and Ron correctly identified the revolver as being a Harrington & Richardson, not a Webley. I figured the Webley would be just too easy for this group. The WEBLUG is great!

And Pete has correctly identified the proof marks from a later model Mauser - a C96 to be precise, probably from late 1914.

There are two remaining parts that have yet to be identified.

For next year I thought I'd write the exciting story of intrigue and international conspiracies in finding the sister revolver. But sounds like Edward already has it! I knew it had to be in this group somewhere. So, Edward, was it really the lost second Luger in George Eastman's collection?

Cheers,
