I've seen a Spanish copy of a S&W 1881 DA .44 whose frame was made the same way: building up layers of sheet iron or steel and brazing them together in the form of the frame, then filing the details to shape. Ingenious; I think some last ditch Nazi weapons were made using a similar technique. But I wouldn't shoot one of these EXCEPT to save my life.....
