That is a nice one. I finally got one a couple of years ago but it was refinished and Parkerized. Still an uncommon gun and an almost unknown link between the .38 Colt revolvers of the 1892-1909 period and the .45 M1911 pistol. The cartridge is a unique also, never having been made commercially. They were made only by Frankford Arsenal and have larger rims than the .45 Colt to prevent the extractor from jumping the rim.
