Russian Single Action treatments....

[Bob Wright]

I found this pretty interesting, the Russian variations on the Colt Single Action cap-and-ball revolvers. Note the wild modifications to the grip shape, and especially one that mimics the Bisley grip on an 1851 Navy Model:

And they did seem to prefer those spurred trigger guards.

The shoulder stock pistol is interesting; that's a very different way of doing it.

Very interesting. Other than AK's and a few others I know very little about Russian arms

Wonderful, thanks. "Hermitage Inv. No. 30 5286", impressive and the engraving is both similar and very different than Western floral styles.

I like that flintlock revolver. Tough to fan, though
