DANTON-Tradename of Gabilondo y Cia.
This gun was made in 6 variations the first being much like the Buffalo
with the safety in the middle of the frame and a 7 shot mag. The
second was a 12 shot version, illustrated below in an advertisement.
The third model moved the safety to the back of the frame and was again
7 shot like the first one. The fourth variation is the one below
which is 9 shot. The fifth variation was made in a 7 and 8 shot but
had a grip safety. The sixth variation is just like the fourth with
a grip safety. Also made in .380 caliber.
This variation dates to about 1929
