[QUOTE="zipty6, post: 3119081, member: 19401"] This is a Smith & Wesson Model 25-5 in 45 Colt. It has a 5 3/4 inch barrel and German Proof marks. The marking indicate that it was imported to Germany, then brought back to the US. There is no import mark for a US importer. Based on the input from another forum and my own research, the marking break down like this: Eagle Over N = Final Nitro Proof - barrel & receiver separately Wicker Basket = Mellrichstadt Proof House ahak = for Albrecht Kind aus Hunstig German importer [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/zipty61.com_25_25_5a6SM.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/zipty61.com_25_25_5a7SM.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/zipty61.com_25_25_5a1SM.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/zipty61.com_25_25_5a2SM.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/zipty61.com_25_25_5a3SM.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
