Comments by "ZGryphon" (@ZGryphon) on "RIA Feb 2020 Special: Mystery Spanish Revolver" video.
@johnanon6938 Given the current state of the art in memes, I was expecting to click "View reply" and find someone saying "Mark Novak would like to know your location."

I feel bad for RIA's UPS guy come Monday.

@wallaroo1295 Yeah, it's just that there are liable to be a lot of them today. :)

When you get a chance, check out the Museum of the Arms Industry in Eibar ( https://armia-eibar.eus/ ) - I found an old catalog there that helped me identify my own Spanish mystery revolver (which turns out to be a Trocaola, Aranzabal y Cía copy of a Smith & Wesson Victory in 8mm French Ordnance, presumably made as part of a contract for the French Army in WWI). They might have something similar kicking around their collection for the company that made this one. Mine has the dubious distinction of being the oddest thing in my cabinet of curiosities. The people who sold it to me thought the badly kerned "TROCAOLAARAMZABALYCIA" roll stamp on the barrel was the usual Mystery Pistol Gibberish and had marked it "CHINESE?? S&W VICTORY COPY - .32 S&W???" (And yes, that is not a typo, or at least it's not MY typo - Trocaola, Aranzabal & Co. spelled their own name "Aramzabal" in their roll stamp. Quality was not Job 1 when they were working on that French contract, evidently. :)

@johnanon6938 Well, I didn't say I was disappointed not to find it. Just that I was expecting it. :)
