Back to the OP ......... wheeeeeeeeeee (burp)

Anyway, these guns have created more excitement over a new offering primarily directed at the CAS community than what we have seen in several years.  They are really really really NEAT!!

Those folks who yearn for something New, a Little Different and Unique will not be disappointed.  Made the same way as the Pietta Marshall series, they are probably of the best made guns on the current market.  Provided your a fan of Cap Guns.  I don't know for sure but have heard it on the Grapevine, the Marshals may soon be available again too.  CAP GUNS RULE!!

Be sure and save up yer box tops kids, and don't forget to get on the list for the next Container.  They'll go quick  ;D

Now, if I could just get my grubby little hands a pair of STAINLESS  R&D type conversion cylinders for em.   OOOhhhhh tasty!!

ah ....... well ..... gave it some thought, Satin Hard Chrome or Satin Nickel or Silver Plate could also work.  Went shopping.  No Stainless conversion  .36 R & Ds out there.  Gonna pick up a pair of blue ones and have em plated.  Load hollow base wadcutters for em.  Although I actually think I'll have too much fun shooting em as .36s to mess with suppositories.  Conversion cylinders are a mite pricy for something i'd prolly only use on inclement weather days.  Of course, as soon as the second rain drop hits my hat, I'm on the way home.  Snug and DRY.

Welp,  Drat ! but that's OK

I'd want one with the Campeche' battle scene anyway and that would add $$
Figure my piece's TG & Backstrap will see Fords plating in the coming months.
so the R&D will remain a Hmmmmmmmmm ! for the foreseeable future.
Still, on the list, just not at the top   :-\

May have to give that serious consideration.  The original sample example had Silver Plate on the Trigger Guard and Backstrap.  Or a Silver Wash that has rubbed off.  I'd probably be inclined to go with Nickel for toughness or Metalife.  Hummmmmmmmmm

For my 2 cents ... ;D

I read about the Capt. Schaeffer in GOTOW much like the rest of you.... Mused I'd like to have one...
I've done that before... but this one was a bit different.... this time I took the steps and was on the list...
Bantering with Mike Rudolf "the Coffin Maker "... he & I  sorta worked up in to " stir " both of us anticipating ....

One can read, some of that here as we waited for the Shipment ....

When , my gun arrived , I was under "orders"  "fondle if you like, do not turn it" ....Mike instructed  :)

Send it to him, he said, he'd work his magic.... and BOY ! DID HE  :D

I can not attest to the OEM,  in the box action " orders" remember ?

But what Coffin Maker sent back is a JOY to behold .... Mike is the real deal !

if you can,  and I know he is retired , but if you can ...give him a jingle ...he is a world of Knowledge and share's it wisely.
with his tutorial , I have transformed with my hands , my 32/20 Marlin Classic & and a 97 Pump...

The Schaeffer was his to do,  he insisted  :D   ....No safe queen it will be shot....

Well, no... it's been 7 years  :)  but a guess would Summer Issue of 2016 maybe the Spring same year.
I do recall the article was by Dennis Adler, where he took credit for the original idea to replicate the Schaeffer.
  In a PM discussion with Alesandro Pietta, he revealed that in fact was correct!
Adler hasn't written for GOTOW in 5 or 6 years now.
  Even GOTOW is not produced by the same publisher anymore.
However, I did tend to horde my copies, and may very well have the copy....somewhere  :-\
 That might be something to do, see if I can find it might be fun reading again.

 :)  I actually have the memory of a Gnat.  Flighty Gnat at that.  I do however well remember the article in GOTOW with the Schaeffer replica on the cover.  Caused me severe heart palpitations and cold sweats.  Immediately called EMF and asked for a pair, consecutive, from the first batch, which hadn't even arrived on these shores yet.  Never been a day sorry. 

The Schaefer was the first time I had seen the "new" hand spring from Pietta, one I doubt will ever fail.  I even left them in my Schaeffer(s).  Adding the Cartridge cylinders just made 'em even more betta!!

There has also been some speculation about Pietta and their involvement with EMF.  As some additional information, Brothers Pietta didn't just invest in EMF.  Bought it outright.  EMF is now a wholly subsidiary of Pietta.

Correct, by investing - EMF was indeed purchased from the heirs.

In another direction, I mentioned I traded mine off...
 My VERY good and late Friend and I often traded and swapped. Because of this discussion, I looked up my deal with John.

He took ownership my Capt Schaeffer, and I took stewardship of a WW2 (1945) M1 Garand, back in November 16, 2019

RIP John
