Here's another theory.....Perhaps this weapon is part of a limited edition special run by some obscure manufacturer. Send a pic into Guns Magazine they have folks who can ID it, be sure to send all the other info, too.

I'm closer to having the mystery solved now than ever before. It's been driving me mad. I'm glad that you guys are all willing to give me a hand with this.

Merry Christmas

One additional thought. I notice the gun does not have a rear sight... apparently one has to use the hammer's firing blade as the rear sight. Either that or this IS a prototype of a new model that hasn't quite been thought out.
