It's time to be Frank with you...

Frank Wesson, that is. Here we have a Frank Wesson and Gilbert Harrington (aka Wesson and Harrington) Number Two .22 caliber revolver, First Type. It's thought that, along with it's predecessor Number One, less than 10,000 were made.


This little revolver is kind of cool, because the cylinder is bored for seven rounds instead of the typical six. Of course with .22 short, that seventh shot may have made a world if difference in a defensive situation. Let's just say that you wouldn't want to throw down with Doc Holliday with just this...

This little pistol (I say little because its only 6 1/4 inches long) was also made in that gem of a city, Worcester, MA, sometime between 1874 and 1879.
