This unusual 5-shot 577 centerfire caliber ""manstopper"" Belgian revolver puts the S&W 500 to shame! The overall length from muzzle to grip is approx. 12.25"". The 6"" octagon with top solid ""rib"" barrel has a very good bore with strong rifling and some erosion toward the chamber. The revolver is a pleasing mix of gray an brown patina. The barrel is marked in an arc on the left side ""WAR... CREON"" (the in between letters are unreadable) over ""BREVETE"" over a large 577. The rear face of the cylinder is marked with the oval Belgian ELG proof mark. The revolver features brass wire inlay scroll work on the action and cylinder. The double action mechanism works perfectly. The action swings open when the latch at the top rear is swung to the right. There is a central extractor for the five 577 cartridges. The grip features a lanyard ring. The highly figured gutta percha grips are excellent. This great revolver would be the centerpiece of any early revolver collection.
