My uncle is going to give me my Grandfather's revolvers.
The one is made by the US Revolver Co., which I know was a house brand for Iver Johnson.
The other one, however, appears to be a typical top-break double action from the turn of the century, but the name, Columbian, is unfamiliar to me. According to my uncle, the gun is also stamped Philadelphia.
Anyone ever hear of this make? I'm suspecting that it's another house brand, but who made it?
I haven't seen these guns in years, this is what my Uncle told me on the phone. I'm going to get them at Christmas, so I'll have better information then.

Smith & Wesson is dead to me.
If you want a Smith & Wesson, buy USED!
