    Here’s a updated pic of the 2 BP pistols. Built a box for them to be displayed till I decide what to do with them.

    Here’s another one for you guys, I forgot about this one sitting next to my safe. My grandparents found in an attic of a house they bought back in NJ around the 60’s. I have not disassembled it, just wiped it down.

    Thank you very much. I wanted to shoot it since I never shot black powder before, but wasn’t sure if I should depending on the value of it. I am currently building a display box for the two guns so if nothing else they can look nice together. I do need to order a couple screws to replace...

    LOL, you guys are awesome. I know it was made in by R.E. Griswold but cant find anything on him at all. Doubt he only made one gun and had a stamp made for just the one. I asked a guy from the history site of Disston saws and he confirmed they never made any weapons. The man I got it from told...

    LD, The ring serves as the trigger once the hammer is pulled back, very hard pull might I add. Its unique to say the least with a brass grip and steel barrel/receiver. I'm going to clean it up a bit and probably build a box for the two of them.

    This was given to me along with what i believe to be a Remington 1858, but not sure. Can not find anything on it or the maker. Any help on one or both is appreciated.
