Escodin Model 31

     Notes:  This is one of literally scores of copies of Smith & Wesson revolvers made in Spain in the 1920s and 1930s.  (The pre-Franco patent laws in Spain were virtually nonexistent.)  The identifying feature is the coat of arms on the left side of the frame, which is large and ornate.  The Model 31 was designed by Manuel Escodin, but built by Eibar.

Llama Comanche

     Notes: These are Spanish-made revolvers which are quite popular in the US. The guns feature an eccentric cam safety that makes it impossible for the hammer to contact the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed. The Comanche compares quite favorably within many US-made revolvers.

     The first model, the Comanche I, was designed to replace the Martial and was produced from 1977-1983.  The Comanche II was also produced from 1977-1983.  These were both replaced by the Comanche III, produced from 1978 to this day.  The Super Comanche came a few years later, and was designed primarily for export to the US.

Orbea

     Notes:  This is another of those early 20th century Spanish copies of Smith & Wesson revolvers.  However, Orbea went wild and chambered the revolver for a several calibers to increase the market base.  Like most of these Smith & Wesson copies, the Orbea is of rather low-quality, but is a serviceable weapon.  Like most of these weapons, it also has no safety mechanism.
