History
JAMAR, Michel, arms manufacturer in Liege, boulevard of Avroy, 16 then street Jean Saint, 26. From 1888 to 1892, it deposits 7 patents for arms inventions and in particular for revolvers and a safety applicable to several species of firearm such as revolvers with hammers, revolvers hammerless and with various kinds of rifles.
​
The bulldog is a typical Royal Ulster Constabulary shape. Proof marks on the cylinder tend to date it to post 1900. The bore is poor, side gate functions with some lag in the pawl.
​
This gun has a lot of sentimental value. After the death and a friend, his son searching for "treasures" dug it up in the chook pen. Where else would you hide a gun. The gun was in very bad condition. After over 2 weeks in a rust removal, hours with a wire brush it was cleaned up and sent to a gunsmith. He spent a few more hours on it removing the remains of nickle plating before it was re-blued.
​
We call this gun the "JimJo"
