The basic Schmidt pattern was a six-shot double action solid frame revolver, with a swing-out cylinder and a short barrel.

All Schmidt revolvers have the maker's name stamped into the lower edge of the butt grip frame, visible when the grips are removed. As with Em-Ge, Schmidt revolvers were also widely sold in the USA before the passing of the Gun Control Act of 1968.

Colt Single Action Army. But some of the more striking features that suggest it is no a SAA, for example the trigger,trigger guard, hammer, and the over all shape of the frame.
