We're having a bit of a thunderstorm here in central Nebraska. Not much rain from it, but I love the thunder and lightning!
Mako, are you sure Colt actually marked any guns .44-40 in the 1800s? I'm aware of the Colt Frontier Six Shooter barrel markings and the little. 44CF mark sometimes found on the trigger guard, but I didn't think Colt marked any 1st gen SAAs .44-40. But I'm not terribly experienced and am mostly parroting those who know more.Jim,
Dave,
Marlin got their first patent for a lever action rifle in 1879. Colt's had been producing "Frontier Six Shooter" that were marked .44-40 two years previous to that. I'm sure Marlin didn't want the 44 WCF, but Colt's already had given the cartridge a second name in 1877. Ids there some earlier Marlin in .44-40 that I am not aware of?
