Thanks for the reply, MrBorland.

The cylinder is not recessed in any way so it's unlikely to accept moonclips. The barrel is unfortunately unmarked as best as I can tell. As for who made it, I don't know.

I showed it to a gunsmith a couple of years ago at my local shooting range and he mentioned that the S&W receiver having 3 screws, as opposed to 5, was significant. Any idea what he meant by that?

If this pistol is a used PPC or Bianchi Cup revolver, where do you suggest I try to sell it? I'm pretty green when it comes to these things.
