Smill & Welson Spanish Counterfeit Revolver

[CountryGent]

Smill & Welson from Sprangfield. (giggle)

With 20th century Spanish handguns there are copies galore. From my own study and experience, the quality ranges from dangerously bad to surprisingly good, with a few that actually improved upon the product they were copying. I still wouldn't shoot a "Smill & Welson," even if paid to do so.

what's in a name ?
the above post reminded me of something in the back of the safe. from the era of velo dogs and what are now known as saturday night specials. i acquired this long ago solely due to its name. .32 rimfire, five shooter,no gate. cost me 15 bucks but the name is worth $20. i have a partial box of shells by numrich arms. penetration testing on a 2x4 left the base of the slug flush with the surface, but i wouldn't want to be the dog chasing this guy on a highwheeler.

When I opened up the side plate on my Rossi revolver. I thought I was looking at a clone of a Smith and Wesson. For that reason.....now a days.....I prefer them over a Taurus or Charter Arms revolver. BUT......I'd stick to the older Rossi revolvers (Imported by Interarms) vs. the Rossi Baz Tech stuff.

Very neat-o piece. I remember that name when I did a deep study of what are oft termed "Suicide Specials" way back in the early 2000s.

At least they didn't stamp it "Dick Tater".

You could often find this roll-marked on the barrel of a frawk Smoth & Wisson - the REAL name, note -

SUITABLE FOR SMITH & WESSON CARTRIDGES

LOL, I keep wanting to edit the title!

Speaking of fakes......Glock & Wesson will surely want to sue over this?

I have a Feg that says it is an FN. Thats as cool a counterfeit I own. It is a decent shooter. Most theories have it being part of a batch to the PLA.
