I acquired this cylinder in a box of misc. gun show stuff and am having a problem identifying what brand it might be from.
It is 22mag six shot and the cartridge heads are recessed. I thought initially that it might be for a Colt frontier scout or peacemaker and it does fit the frame perfectly and index correctly but the bolt stop cutouts are nearly 1/3 wider in this cylinder than in my new frontier.
I was hoping someone here might recognize the style and positioning of the "22magnum" logo and the style and positioning of the flutes and cutouts.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

No telling. Over the years, Rohm of Germany, Heritage, Chiappa, there's been ALL sorts of swap cylinder peacemaker style .22s produced, most cheap guns. My first revolver in the 60s was a "Hawes", Rohm built gun, and my neighbor has a RG. I've offered him 25 bucks for it. He said he was thinking of tossing it out in the trash. Says the trigger is too light, but I tried it and it's very light with no creep. Probably wearing out, don't know, LOL.

Anyway, it's just hard to tell, but I bet it came out of one of those cheap Zamac frame guns.

Here's a pic of a Hawes I found on the net, ain't mine. Sold mine to a college buddy who wore it out fanning it. :rolleyes:
