All of my USFA experience has been with USFA premium, Rodeo and Double eagle of US manufacture. I came across this gun that would appear to be of US manufacture. I called the dealer and it has the conical firing pin. markings suggest US build as does the hammer. my best guess is that is started as a gunslinger that was polished, engraved and refinished. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I certainly am no expert, but that is great looking, and it has all the features of what I believe to be an all USA parts USFA single action revolver. I have no idea which model it originally may have been but it certainly is an awesome looking firearm now.

I have never had the privilege of owning an engraved firearm much less a fully engraved. They are just always out of my price range. If I had the ability I would be proud to own one, or two, or three, or....

Yes, the serial number range likely makes it a Gunslinger originally.

Well dang! That's kind of a waist of an interesting USFA in it's own (original) variation.
