I have an old .38 Long revolver with "Guisasola Brothers Eibar, Spain"
stamped on top of barrell. Having trouble finding any info about who what when etc. on this pistol. Any info you have is good.

It looks a lot like a Spanish Copy of a S&W Hand Ejector D.A. Revolver, but I'm just comparing it to pictures, there are a lot of S&W style Spanish variations. Yours looks to be in really good shape though.

A note of caution- the .38 Long was similar to the .38 Special in dimensions, but was a black powder very low power round- and true .38 Special ( most especially HOT .38 Specials) should not be fed to it, lest it develop a severe case of heartburn.

The LARGE number of Spanish imitators is the reason for the "Marcas Registrados" markings on old S&Ws. To let folks know it was the real thing, and not a copy.

38 spanish

I have the same one same make.they were made by a better manufacturer than others.while the 38 long was a black powder round by the time of those revolverss smokless wass common the gun was made in the WW1 to WW2 era.I shoot 38 specials in mine and I was amazed at how good it shot.use standard load or target loads.I reload all my ammo.
never the less the gun is old so dont abuse it.:rolleyes:
