Seville - 45 Win Mag

[Lee Martin]

I picked-up this Seville a couple of weeks ago and finally snapped a picture of it:



It's a Tucson built convertible. The cylinder in the gun is in 45 Winchester Magnum.....the other is a standard 45 Colt.

As you can see, the 45 Win Mag cylinder is engraved with two lines. Not many of these were built and I believe this one has never been fired (short of the factory test). John Himmelmann can speak more to the numbers, but only a few Win Mag Sevilles were produced. The couple I've encountered to date are 7.5".....this is the only 4 5/8" I've come across.

Now all I need to find is a 9mm Win Mag Seville (seriously, if anyone ever spots one I'm willing to pay top dollar).

You and the hound dawg come up on some awesome Seville examples. Color me jealous once again Lee, nice purchase.

I have always found the idea of having a 45 win, mag revolver very appealing. I know I can match it with a 45 Colt but still just uber cool. Very good looking gun Lee, congrats.

Another excellent find Lee. Didn't know they made any in .45 Win Mag.

They didn't make many. I don't know the exact number, but if I had to guess I'd say 20 - 40 Win Mag cylinders were produced.
