Cimmaron Old Model "P" Charcoal blue. Not one smokeless heathen load thru it. ;D 35 grns Old Eynsford FFFG under a 250 Grn slug.

What is the device on the front of the frame?

Base pin retaining screw.
I've got the same revolver, but with the standard blue finish.

I don't care for the thumb screw. Mine came with both but I use the slotted screw.

Reason I use it is after 3-4 cylinder loads the action gets a bit tight at the range so I use the finger screw to take apart and wipe down with Ballistol moosemilk to keep it slick.

Bit easier to do that with the thumbscrew to me.

Save for the base pin retaining screw, the gun is handsome.

Beautiful revolver. I always thought the knurled thumbscrews that Cimarron makes were kinda neat.

But I'm one of those weird guys who likes those late crescent-style ejectors, too.

Howdy

Very pretty.

But just so you know, that finish is not very robust. I had a Cimarron with the same charcoal blue finish a bunch of years ago. Within one year the blue was completely gone from the backstrap, rubbed off by my sweaty palm. Without the blue, the backstrap settled into a 'battleship gray' color. Nowhere near as robust a finish as modern blue.
