Re: What kind of pistol is this?

I don't think it's British. Other than the serial numbers, small crown on the right and .44 on the left there's no sign of markings. 8-[] It WAS in a fire thus the poor condition of both of them. I doubt very much either of these will see any action but don't have the heart to throw them out. I can ...
