Not in .38 S&W it would'nt, unless you merely want to annoy your assailant..

Doug, I looked up the 38 S&W cartridge compared to the 9mm Parabellum...It's not all that far off...

Hmmmm...I just re-read Dave's first post...Doug, Dave wrote that it is a .32...but the export proofs look to me to be ".38"...

yes, it's .38 I made a typo.. sorry

This pistol does have the brass disc on the right side grip. It has a #4 in it?

Can you take a pic of the whole right side, and maybe a closeup of the disc as well???

ripcord810 · 07-30-2012, 01:53 PM

Sorry, should have done that to begin with.

Nope, that's the 'broad arrow'. Is it held in with a screw ? (Enfield rifle discs are held in with a screw - I have a couple from my rifles). If it comes off easily, there may be a unit designation on the back side.

Yes, it is held in with a screw. I took it apart and removed disc. No markings at all.

Still a conversation piece with the 'government property' [broad arrow] marking...

Guess I should have put my glasses on as that certainly isnt a 4!! lol

ripcord810 · 07-30-2012, 11:41 PM

I do plan to fire it at some point if I don't trade it off first.

I guess they're not as rare as some sites say...Besides the one(s) on GB, there's two on GA...Here's one of them...
