The FFL got in a Rogers & Spencer .44 percussion revolver the other day.. It looks like it hasn’t been fired too much, but it looks like the cylinder was swapped at some point. The serials match on the frame, under the barrel, on the grip frame, etc. but the serial on the cylinder doesn’t match.

I was surprised at the grip. The frame is a very close match to the Ruger Bisley shape, with the larger hump and steep back edge it felt like my new Bisley .22 (I have a 10-day wait before I can pick that up
.) The grip has wood panels with a “bell bottomed” flare, this little touch, coupled with the shape of the grip, looks like a decent combo to help control recoil.

I am not much of a bp aficionado, but the gun was pretty cool.
Stay safe.
