"MISS FISHER'S MURDER MYSTERIES"
I came across this TV OTA listing on the local PBS channel (KRMA HDTV
6.1) the other day. "What? A detective show I had not heard of?"
I watched the remaining portion of it, decided it wasn't half bad, did some searching on it.
Ir involves a quite attractive young lady detective named Phryne Fisher in the late nineteen-twenties in Melbourne Australia who goes around solving murders sort of as a hobby. Hey, why not... if a Priest can be a detective who goes around solving murders as a hobby, why not Miss Fisher?
If a grossly overweight detective can rassle with evildoers as in "Cannon," why not little Miss Fisher in the late twenties in Australia?
Anyhow, in digging around various sources on this program, it seems one of the plot devices is that she carries a small gold-plated revolver which comes into play, apparently in nearly all the episodes.
Miss Fisher's Revolver:

Hey, summbinch! That's my EDC*, too! 'Cepting mine is blue!
So that intrigued me and I did a little digging and that gun is practically a star in its own right.
There are some sources which discuss the accuracies in the show and it seems some have noticed that the J-frame (this type of small revolver) did not go on the market until the nineteen-fifties.
I'd like to watch more of this series, but not as a "must watch" show... I'd like to discover her carry method, for example.
Anyhow, I would not have dug any further except some articles referred to "Miss Fisher's fabulous revolver," and that piqued my interest.
FWIW in terms of general amusement,
