Revolver manufacturing is a lost art. I've got several revolvers. One is a Colt Police Positive from 1920,...made with 1920 technology machinery.
It would be interesting to see what someone would come up with if they tried to duplicate it today. I bet they would have a difficult time duplicating the fit even with 21st century machining technology.
The Smith & Wesson "Classic" are sort of an imitation of old time revolvers using modern methods. I'd like to see how they get the side plates fitted.
