After the turn of the 20th century, S&W M&P's and hand ejectors were a big enough hit to draw knock-offs.  Spain was always a center of firearms manufacture and took advantage of S&W's popularity.  Many outfits put out copies, some ok, some not so much.  Armero Especialistas Reunidas of Eibar, Spain made some of the better looking copies.  They were marketed by a German company under the name Alfa.  They look enough like S&W's to be mistaken for one, but shooting one is a different story.  This could be a non-shooting addition to an early S&W collection for comparison..

Condition: operates DA and SA but has really heavy trigger pull, strength of steel questionable, cylinder stick when swinging out, very good grips, very good marks..

Curio/Relic: Yes
