The cartridges look like .450-400 3 1/4".
May God bless America and those who defend her.

The cal. is 45-3.250-500gr. based on the 45-3.250-Sharps, or 45-120. Regards Rich

Rich,
You took on another conversion project. Glad to see you are feeling better!
Looks like it will make a fine 45-120.

Thanks Pete, Iam going to try to reach 2000fps. Iam feeling much better after being in the Hospital. I found out I am a debetic with my sugar running over 600. I had monthly checkups but no one was minding the store. I have been taking 50 units of ins. and 2000mg. Metoforman a day for about eight weeks now and feeling 100% better. Thanks Rich

Raimey Do you have any idea what the letters (ESHA) stands for in front of the trigger guard (first picture). Regards Rich similar to flyer and different example from the one below. The frame reinforcment/mini clamshell looks to be a hallmark of Erdmann Schmidt & Habermann so I wonder where they sourced their frames? Kind Regards, Raimey rse

The barrels were cut off, the block welded and linebored to make a monoblock. There was a name (Richard Fleis Co on one barrel and Prussstanl-Krupp-Essex on the other with the letters RW in a oval on both barrels)along with the proofs. An encircled "RW" similar to the stamp on these tubes? Kind Regards, Raimey rse
