1858 issue

I have 2 Hawes revolvers

Hawes was an importer and I am not certain we have ever locked down who did the manufacturing.

Neither of mine are marked as yours is. Mine are marked on the barrel.

They are of moderate quality.
 
Thanks Doc, just out of curiosity was wondering if the serial numbers of yours start with "H" also, might nail this down a bit more.

I couldn't find any close up pics of a Hawes marking, but it looked like the couple said Hawes Firearm Co.

I'm thinking maybe I got an early model import and they didn't have proper stamping equipment yet...dunno
 
I've heard of Hawes and actually have some old "Guns'n'Ammo" with ads for them in the '70's and 80"s. They made several types of replicas. I understand they went under but I don't know how long ago. The 'Shooter's Bible' from 1995 doesn't list them as vendors anymore.
 
I owe you an apology.....

....I have only one Hawes. Photos are included.

I had forgotten that the second one was traded off.

The second photo shows the SN and the first character is a "1".


The missing revolver was a Remington and it was marked in a way identical to the Navy shown in the photos.

I confess, I do not remember the serial number nor whether the first digit was an "H".

I do remember that there was no marking on the side of the frame that looked like your photo.

You can see from the photo above that the markings on the Navy are fairly nicely done.
 
As suspected, a new trigger fixed the issue. A bit more fitting to do I think before it's perfect (or close enough)...but for now, I am a happy camper.

Thank you guys so much.
