I did not get away unscathed, it just took me a little longer. I will let you guys (and gals?) figure out what it is. No prizes for correct identification. There is a large void in my gun case where several guns used to be and my bank account is wimpering like a scolded puppy!!

1903 Commercial?? Very nice, whatever it is...you must be very happy

Nice pistol. Just a guess but it looks like it could be a 1902 fat barrel Eagle. It is tough to tell without seeing the chamber crest. Nice strawing. Thanks for sharing.

That's quite striking Ron! Good buy for sure! I love it! Thor

I say it is 1 of 50 1903 Commercial's in mint condition.

This is a Crown Jewel whatever it is. A centerpiece of a major collection!

Lucky you!

The flat toggle knobs, rather than dished like a 1902, do not show up in the photo quite as well as I thought they would. Probably should have shot a close-up of the right toggle knob with the toggle lock.

Thankyew Actually, it was a matter of simple logic. The flat toggles were quite clear, the only other option (4" 1904 Navy) wouldn't have made your bank account cry that way.
