HOPE... ALL THE PROOF ANYONE NEEDS I sought God and found evidence for the everthing I questioned in the Bible: giants. Noah's Ark, Sodom & Gommorah, etc. etc. There is evidence for the Bible and Jesus Christ, archeological, spiritual, and prophetic. Jesus Christ was who He said He was and did what He did to prove that fact. There are miracles in the name of Jesus Christ still happening today. Science proves the Bible and Jesus Christ. The Bible was taught in our public schools until 1963. It is by far the most published book in the world by the billions, no book even comes close. The Bible is prophetic and the things Jesus Christ said prior to His return are happening currently. Truth in itself is inherently exclusive. We have been lied to about many things. Religions, pastors, and churches most often deviate from the Truth. People suffer for lack of knowledge because they do not seek the Lord, they don't read their Bible, and they listen to some pastor, priest, rabbi, or authority figure without ever reading the Bible and seeking the Lord for discernment themselves. If they did, many would leave their church, synagogue, or mosque immediately. Not all religions are the same and the various sects of Christianity deviate from the truth. Not all religions proclaim Jesus Christ as the Son of God and God in the flesh: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. The pope and the CAIR website say that we are all worshipping the same God. This is false and easily proven in the verses. The quran was written approximately 632 AD (Anno Domini: Year of the Lord), after the death of Christ. It states that allah has no son as also written at the al-aqsa mosque. In the hadith it states that the enemy of allah is the King of Kings (Jesus). Judaism does not believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah. Rabbis today have said that they have been meeting with the messiah. This is not how the Bible says the Lord will return. The morman temple has pentagrams all over it and the angel moroni's arm & trumpet fell off in a recent earthquake. The current happenings in the world are all prophetic. The thing about the Lord is that you don't need to try to sift through all of history and it's many lies. You just need to ask Him to make Himself known to you, He will. The Lord has been giving me dreams and visions and prophetic Words since 2015. I became completely disgusted with the system when acquiring a doctoral degree in educational leadership and began to study the Bible and other religions on my own, among other things... the Lord began to speak to me as I sought the Truth. This is prophetic and is happening all over the world. The Lord says that He will pour out His spirit upon all flesh prior to His return. Two ways to know the truth: research and look at the evidence: archeological, spiritual, and prophetic, or ask the Lord Jesus Christ to make Himself known to you...He will. Lots of evidence on my free KZread channel. kzread.info/dron/KMdxnNh5HYKfaOl4PrRVqw.html Acts 2:17 King James Version (KJV) 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: John 14:6 King James Version (KJV) 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Galatians 1:8-9 King James Version (KJV) 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. God bless in the name of Jesus Christ!

I say that only because, from what remained, it has all the features of a Bulldog pocket .32 with the exception of those centrally located flutes on the cylinder. Someone did make a copy with no identifying stamping or roll marks but it did have those oddly shaped flutes on the cylinder. Interesting stuff. I never expected to see one of those resurrected in this way.

It is incredibly unsafe to fire. Who knows if there's a tiny spec of rust inside the barrell, or the cylinder isn't perfectly aligned ?? It may blow up.

I think it resembles the 1884 Colt SAA Sherrif model, 45 caliber Colt, 4 1/4'' octagon barrel. That single action revolver's barrel had a tall sight and the left side was engraved ".45 colt". The hammer was bright while the body color had a heat-rainbow pattern from case hardening. The absence of an ejector rod or housing with a blackpowder style base pin seen here is typical of what was called the "Shopkeepers" model.

It does resemble that model except this gun is a double action.

Nope, it's a Belgian Bulldog. There were a few variants but there is one that looks exactly like this one. look at the unique mechanism in front of the cylinder.

This is very similar to a British revolver named the BULLDOG !! Must be about the best restoration I have seen! Wasn't even sure it was the same gun for a while!!!

That's just amazing! I didn't give it a chance. Great job. Thx for the great video. I really enjoyed it.

That person takes gunsmithing to a whole nother level.🤩
