We are in the process of moving, and thought I would get a group shot before they get wiped down and put in the safe at their new home.

These were taken in artificial light so I apologize for the glare. The difference in color of the barrel and cylinder on the 1st. Gen is not so obvious in hand. I do wonder why they have aged differently, as this is a matching numbers gun.

The second gen is the fluted cylinder example, and my most recent addition thanks to a member here. I bought the third generation new, many years ago, and never fired it.

May have to look for another second generation with a full round cylinder to keep the family resemblance consistent, at least it gives me an excuse to buy another one.
