Nice...Awesome find!

 

[SOLANCO]

Wow! Flea market find indeed.

 

[James little]

Yes I think it is steel under nickol plate 36 cal griswold and gunnison

 

[cowboydave]

Very Nice Find.

 

[B P Arn]

Griswold & Gunnison would have had a brass frame, except for a very few.

 

[TreeMan]

Nice! There is a fella that’s been selling a couple of these on this forum the last few months. Until I saw his for sale I had no idea they even existed.

I believe it is a brass frame & it is just the lighting that makes it look different in the photo. Hopefully a better pic with help. IIRC, High Standard sold them as Griswold & Gunnison repros, but it's been a LONG time since I've had one in hand. Edit: I see you are the OP, so the nickel plated frame is a new one on me!

 

[James little]

the frame grip back strap and loading lever are nickel plated

 

[James little]

Here’s the back strap

 

[B P Arn]

That is a beautifully finished gun.

Does a magnet stick to the frame (I'm wondering if the frame is steel or brass)?

 

[BillKilgore]

Wow. What a beautiful find. I hope they did not try to rip you off with the price.

 

[James little]

I didn’t think of a magnet. I got it at a good price. I made him a offer and he excepted it I am happy

 

[Stykbow]

Heck of a find there!

 

[cynthialee]

wow, really nice pistol

I bet it has never been fired.

 

[toot]

KUDDOS TO YAH!

 

[josie wales]

WOW!!!! I would of given my left nut for a find like that! High Standard guns made in Hamden CT were some of the very best guns ever made.
