My acquisition at the Las Vegas Antique Arms Show

I had a feeling the Merwin Hulberts were influenced by S&W revolvers. The grip of the Frontier model looks like a pretty close copy of the S&W American model's grip. Thanks for sharing the internal pics.
 
It may have actually been a patent issue that caused Merwin Hulbert to come up with their unique design. S&W may have held patents on the Top Break system that prevented MH from making a Top Break. I don't really know, I am still researching that question.
