So What Do I Have Here?
« on: March 05, 2014, 10:58:32 PM »
  I've bought a pair of USFA's and they will be here in a few days. I'm not sure of their desirability/collectability. The worse thing about them as the original owner tossed the boxes as he'd planned on using the revolvers. Other than that, they're a pair of 4 3/4" .38 Specials, unfired, color case hardened and consecutive serial numbers.

  I've seen the term "Turnbull case hardened" but don't know how to tell if mine have that.

 







  Thanks for any help/info.

Cholla,
Doug Turnbull did all of the case hardening for USFA.
From the looks of the cylinder flutes and the conical firing pin, I would say that your guns are later production and, as such, all US made.

Very nice indeed! As other have indicated appears to be USA guns all the way. You should be very pleased.
