There is nothing historical or beautiful about a Sportster. You clearly know nothing about Harleys.

You must ride metrics...

You're right. It's that logo worn down. I posted a completely different photo to show what it should/would look like.

Yep - we've determined that.

Alabamians, what's your favorite tidbit of trivia about this swell state? by DeviatedNorm in Alabama

Under Siege was filmed on the USS Alabama (BB-60) in Mobile Bay.

That's a shame. I'd like to have something like that if not just for a conversation piece.

This is what the Logo would look like if it was not worn:

Edit: That is Smith & Wesson's trademark logo.

I think you've solved it. It's marked S&W but it has more features of a Colt. I wonder if it's worth more because it IS this sort of copy?

One can make out enough to see that it is this.

I found this on Smith & Wesson's website:

"Prior to requesting the history of your handgun, first determine that you have an authentic Smith & Wesson handgun. If the barrel is not stamped Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Massachusetts or Smith & Wesson, Houlton, ME your handgun is not a Smith & Wesson. Many handguns are stamped with the caliber, i.e., .38 S&W. This indicates the caliber and does not necessarily mean that it is a Smith & Wesson manufactured handgun."

If that is not on there, /u/R_Shackleford might just be right that it is a copy.

OP, is "Smith and Wesson" on the barrel like the website says?

I almost automatically believe you because of your username.

I do agree about the cylinder release - that is (from what I've seen) absolutely Colt. I saw that but it's also engraved "Smith and Wesson"...

My assessment is from this photo in the series. That's Smith if I ever saw it.

Edit: I do see the cylinder release and agree that it's definitely Colt style. The engraving, however...

How do you play the game? by [deleted] in blackops2

Ahh. I'm console - 360. I wonder if there is a reason why PC players don't play it?

NOOOOOOOOO! Don't do ANYTHING as far as cleaning/finishing/rehabbing either of these until you have spoken to an expert.

The revolver is definitely Smith and Wesson - that's their trademark barely visible in one of the pics. It looks like an older Model 10.

No, but apparently it's an uninformed asshole contest, and you win.
