    Navy arms gunnison and griswold prototype

    Yes mine is a GU revolver imported by navy arms and is stamped1960 in Roman numerals …. It’s also stamped navy arms on the barrel but no other stamps are on it . It’s in very nice condition and obviously it’s hand made as the fit is perfect all over .
