thanks for your info!

Have also a historic S&W Russian. The writing on the barrel is hardly visible due to stain. As far as I can tell it says "Smith & Wesson Patent" and "Springfield". It's written in cyrillic though. These guns were made in Germany (Ludwig & Loewe) and Tula, Russia as well.
Question: is mine made in Springfield or rather Tula?
