I finally resolved my quandary. I have a Hopkins & Allen XL Double Action 6 shooter, roll-marked XL3 in .32 Merwin Hulbert caliber. The latter accounts for why this neat little revolver will chamber .32 S&W Long cartridges. As the print ad from an 1887 catalog shows. My piece has the folding hammer spur, side mounted spent case Ejector, like a Colt SAA and (not shown) right side loading gate. If it was an identical Merwin Hulbert & Co. revolver, it would include a butt-mounted lanyard ring. I have a coupla’ boxes of .32 S&W Long low pressure wadcutters coming. I have the skills to create a set of ancient mineralized Mastodon ivory grips that would really set my vintage revolver off!
