DUBSY Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) There is microscopic printing on top behind the front sight. I think it reads _ Johnson's Arms and Cycle works and the patent#. And then there are some dates: month and year. The cylinder rotates clockwise (to the right). I think it's 32 cal.

The break top revolvers were well on their way out for just about everyone but the British military by the 1920s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
