Yes. It looks like the Gasser would be a better guess. Agreed.

Looks a little like the one Teddy is wearing.

I'm attaching a photo of a Colt New Service revolver; they came in many barrel lengths, with the one depicted having a 5.5" barrel. Six-inch barrels were also made, as well as 4", 4.5", 5" and 7.5". The pistol was introduced in 1898, and, with some modifications along the way, was produced up to 1946.

The Colt pictured or the similar S&W in 455 could fit.
Teddys holster in his (crowded hour on San Juan hill) had a 38 Colt in it recovered from the sunken battle ship USS Maine in Cuba in 1898. It was much later stolen but had engraved Teddys name with some history on the side plate. A woman's boyfriend saw the pistol she had and realized what it was. Calling the FBI, it was returned and placed in a museum. A writeup is in Stuart Mowbray's Man at Arms for the Gun Collector magazine. I get caught up in the history behind these great items |
