American Arms C°
American Arms Co, Boston, Massachussetts. Although bearing the same name as the company that produced the manually revolved double-barrel pistols (also located in Boston), this company is not believed to have any affiliation with them.
This revolver exists in 2 versions: the one presented, with dpur trigger, was produced in the .38 Centerfire caliber only. The other version has a classical trigger and works in both single and double action, and was made in calibers .38 CF and .32 CF.
Total quantity is unknown but estimated several hundreds.
Distinguishing feature is the manually operated extractor which appears as a split ring on the back of the cylinder.
This system was probably designed to avoid possible lawsuits from S&W for patent infringments.

A particular mechanism, safety “S” blocks the trigger of course, but the small sliding round button transforms the weapon into trigger stretcher “triple action”.
