Oh, one thing I forgot to mention about my Pocket Navy repro. The full-size 1851 Navy revolver has an engraving of a naval battle on the cylinder, with a little caption giving the date of the engagement (sometime in 1843, if memory serves). The pocket version does not simply have that engraving scaled down; instead, its cylinder sports a cheerful little scene that appears to be a stagecoach robbery in progress. :)--G. -><- Benjamin D.
