Gentlemen, thank you. That's what I like about the Firing Line, knowledgeable people and knowledgeable answers. I've been a certified gun nut for almost 70 years and do not remember ever hearing of a garrucha pistol.
I've gone back over the gun and there are no other marks. I don't have the material to do a chamber cast but I did do some chamber measurements.
The rim of the case would be appx .580, the base of the case just above the rim is .530, the mouth of the slightley tapered case just before the rifleing is .515 and the overall length of the case would be roughly 1.450. All measurements in inches. Does this equate to any cartridge of the day? What time frame were these pistols produced?
