Never saw a Colt's "Harpoon" before! The No. 5 "Holster" models at the bottom were the fighting versions!!
 
I never saw a covered barre also, but thats colts #1 the guy puttng these on left out the 51 Navy with 12" barrel and looks kike Lymaqn sight up front and a sight in back that starts from a few "s from cyl to close to all the way over it (cyl) with a big peep hole it was the first true tryat Colts adding a stock. Fred :hatsoff:
 
He got wise to those enclosed nipples and the shielded chambers before they went into production. Ethan allen left the cones enclosed which probably accentuated the tendency to fire off all of the barrels like a syncopated machinegun. Combine that with a plate over the chambers and the revolver takes on a certain grenade-like aspect.
 
The blade is there once you realize that the weapon is most useful as a tent stake.
 
Ya the "Bowie Blade" one is lots better ,for irs day 6 shots and about 17" of handgun and blade! :grin: Fred :hatsoff:
