This is about all I can do for screen caps:

I think all three shots show that the barrel is definately 5+" long. The final shot shows, as mentioned, the ejector rod shroud.

As this clearly neither the Stembridge, nor the Bapty, nor a Colt 1917 (as clearly being used by some of Lao Che's thugs in the chase car). I submit, my dear Watson that this is . . .

A NEWLY DISCOVERED UNIDENTIFIED REVOLVER!!!! :o :o :o

Great gun, Archaeologist. I would definetely get a new barrel for the conversion. That is what I ended up doing. Back in the day, around 1990 I picked up one of the Brazillian contract guns for 125.00. It was parkarized and was missing the lanyard ring and only had packmar grips. Lee keppler got me a ring, vintage grips, and a replacement barrel done the way it was for Raiders. I had everything reblued and it soon had the vintage look. Mind you, this was all pre-internet. Now I find the grips are wrong as they have the medallions. Still looking for the CORRECT N grips. I would definitely
do the Stembridge as the 1917 was the gun they used.

Not to walk down a political path here, but I googled class 3 weapon ownership, and you're right, the $200 stamp is all you need.. but, it could vary by state.

It's a collector's item as well as a fine piece of handywork. I'd be tempted to use as is.

In those screen grabs the size of the medallions, grip angle and angle of the trigger guard make it look like a Colt. To me at least.
