Hi,
I've recently aqquired a Smith & Wesson DA Frontier, or New Model Navy. It supposedly is .44 Russian but on the left side of the barrel all it says is
'44 S & W CTG'. It's a nice pistol, with what look like original ivory grips, very tight mechanically with serial numbers on the cylinder, base of the backstrap and barrel lock #49418. I've tried to attach a picture of it, it's in really good shape.
Anyway can someone tell me how to find a manufacture date and more information on it? Wouldn't it say .44 Russian if that was truly the caliber?
thanks for any help
