It's not marked on the barrel rib?

My monitor has a problem with darker images.

Could you get in any closer and turn the emblem closer to vertical.

It's a Smith & Wesson copy. So many little manufacturer's made cheap pistols before the 1968 gun control act that it's going to be tough to find. I see an O so I'll bet it's something Co, as in Company. FamCo? Or FA Manufacturing Company? I'd get one of those Blue Books and thunb through the different combonations.

I disagree that it's pre-68.

Not that it isn't "pre-68", but Will misses the probable date.

Guns like that are refered to as "suicide specials".
And most were made before or shortly after WWI

That "style" of handgun is really a turn of the century style.

Swing-out cylinders were taking over the market place
through the mid and late teens.

Aren't the suicide specials the ones that would blow up in your hand? I remember my grandfather having a gun that he called a suicide special which he obtained back in his WWII days.

It is a Meriden Arms. It was sold by Sears back in the day you could buy everything from a Sears Catalog.
