Man if it could talk. Is there any way to do any research on it? Does anyone have King's records or did they have records?

This was purchased originally from the estate of Colt shooting master J. Henry Fitzgerald. For all I know he put this together with King Parts… I have since procured two others from same…. 44/40, 4 3/4” Frontier model with “U Rear” and King bead front. 3rd is a 32 WCF 5” circa 1906… all family treasures

Shame they didn't keep records, that'd be wild. I assume you'll be showing off the others?

Beautiful revolver. I'd be humbled just to shoot it. Would be nice if a Tennessean would be first to shoot it on the long list.
The Callshot brass also has quite a history and story to tell.
She shoots as good as she looks.

He owned all three Ken… purchased by a man from Harrisburg Pa (named Jack) handed to Jack L. then to me… thank goodness I have a son named Jack (after his grandad). I snuck the 32 WCF in a post last year…. imgur.com/a/YyNDjXp

I agree with Trey, but for me, I wish it didn't have the banded front sight. I would have prefered the ramped front sight on the top of the barrel. The revolver is beautiful, would love to own it.
