    Russian Cossack Cavalry

    Just a guess, but I would think the Cossack Cavalry would have still have had S&W revolvers up through WW1 and many surfaced during WW2. The S&W Russianicon in 44 cal was designed as a cavalry pistol with the extended spur to the rear of the trigger guard.
    the Russians bought quite a few 1st, 2nd and 3rd model variations from S&W plus the copies that were made.

    Photo shows my S&W Uberti 44 Russian, doubt the Russians had pearl grips except for high ranks or presentation Attachment 101164

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I do agree with you about the S&W in .44 Russianicon. I do think that the increase recruitment of new replacements for the Calvary made it a requirement for the new pistol. Germanicon machineguns and artillery made cannon fodder out of many of the Russian Calvary. Standard sidearm for the infantry was the Nagant pistol as well as all the other branch's.
