Bought two grail revolvers Sunday.....6/8 - Pic's Added
I went to an auction this past Sunday and ended up snagging two of my grail guns. Paid full price on one and stole the other.
First up is a Colt model of 1917 .45acp. Probably 90%. The second is a S&W Pre 34, 2” kit gun. It has the flat cylinder release, round but. Again, 90% to 95%
Weird auction. Some prices too low, some too high. There was one of those odd semi auto revolvers. Very rare... sold for $8,100!This message has been edited. Last edited by: beltfed21,

I would love to see some pictures of these. Revolver pictures are the best!

My attempt at pics. Colt 1917 (made in April 1918), S&W Pre model 34 (made in 1954), and a shot of both.

The Mateba has been in several movies-you can look them up in the Internet Movie Firearms database.
Same guy who designed the Mateba was also the lead designer for the Chiappa Rhino. Somewhat similar in appearance and both shoot from the bottom cylinder.
Nice Colt!

Beltfed, that is a nice pair of revolvers. That S&W snubby is my favorite. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

That Colt is sweet!

Thanks! All the government markings (bottom of the barrel and grip frame) are sharpe and clear. The bore is shiny and bright. The .22 S&W is the same way!
