In your original copy, can you make out a serial# and tell where the medallion is??
Neat old stuff!! You think this was Kuhlhoff's Single Six or a Prototype? Anyone know if Pete Kuhlhoff had #19?

This looks like a prototype. Look at the cylinder flutes. Not a clear image. I can't make out a serial number, if it even has one. I can tell the case has real similar, if not identical, hardware as that of RSSEs. Probably the same box maker who later did the RSSE boxes with green interior?? I believe the gun is laying in the upper inside half of the case. This is 1953.

Do you think this is one of those boxes with the red interior as shown in Argosy Magazine?
