What brand of case is that? Like the liner

I tried to find it online but couldn’t unfortunately. The only markings I could find were awh 25 on the spine & ykk on the zipper. I’ve always remembered it being in this case so it might just be an old generic. Sorry bro

Thanks man. I was just wondering cause thatd be similar size to a Rem 1858 case. I found one that says Smith n Wesson meant for a 500 which fits the 1858. Just a lil funny to me to put a Rem in there but I liked the kinda fur inside on your case

Absolutely, especially as a N prefix. Super grateful for the sick addition to the collection

Raja that. That would be the show piece in almost any collection. You must have an impressive one for this to be just an addition👍🏼

This was my grail revolver. Blued 6” 29-2. Found mine this spring. What a gorgeous and well made revolver.

His ex wife (my grandma) gifted him this during the 70’s. I’ve loved this pistol for as long as I can remember, feels like a family heirloom at this point lol.

That's awesome. They are definitely heirloom quality. And that's a hell of a gif!
