This S&W Frontier Double Action revolver was dug up in the 70s in Goldfield, Nevada. Chambered for the .44-40 cartridge, it was found loaded with a mix of .40-40, .38-40, and .44 S&W American ammo.
Not interested in what it was designed to do, interested in what it can do!
Manufactured in England c.1870~80′s. .577 Boxer/15x24mm six-round cylinder removable after getting rid of the cylinder axis and backplate, double action. Full-brass .577 Boxer cartridges were allegedly made from shortened .577 Express cases and fired a 400grain/26gr/0.9oz round lead ball at 725fps/220ms. This was incredibly harder-hitting than almost all cap and ball revolvers, and more importantly than all the other small civilian cartridges often used in pistols of the time.
