The proper Yorkshire way to eat fruit cake is with cheese. Wensleydale is considered by many to be the ideal choice.- Auldjin

Looking for info and specific ID on revolver
I would describe it as a self-cocking revolver, of a type popular in England in the mid 19th century. Charles Osborne was a Birmingham gunmaker. If you Google "Charles Osborne" , gunsmith you should find the information you need. Most of the hits I found were for shotguns but there were some...- Auldjin

LeMat Revolver
Yes, it is. It is in the 1400s. It has been in my family since the 30s so for more than half its "life". -

Yes they are all originals. Being in the UK they are not fired. The better preserved London Navy was still loaded when my father acquired it, He took it down to the station range and unloaded it the quick way. Even after 70 odd years (it was in the 30s) every shot fired. -

All my Colts together. The Navies are 2nd Model, 3rd Model and two Londons. The Police model has a NY address, steel trigger guard and London proofs. -

Unknown flintlock pistol
Just for comparison, an An XIII. I do feel that the hammer in the original post is on the large side. Incidentally, the rammer fits through the hole in the **** for tightening.- Auldjin

I have repeated the picture I posted earlier for easier comparison of the rammers. This is a second model. -

I am in the UK so it is too complicated but I do not think I would want to risk causing damage to the old girl. However, in the 30s when my father acquired a London Navy, it was fully loaded and he decided to take it down to the station's range and unload it the quick way, every shot fired...
