("Royal Irish Constabulary") revolver, I decided to get most of my growing ".455 Family" together for a few group photos ....  The "black sheep" of the clan (an O.P. revolver of the same type as the one in the photos which got disgraced with nickel plating at some time following its military service) was not invited to the photo shoot ....
