    Revolver photos

    I have just remembered a story about the original owner of the London Navy, a Major Storer. He was notorious for having a short fuse and was particularly hard on "trespassers". One day, he came across a group of ladies enjoying a picnic on his land next to the river. Refusing to listen, he...

    The relationship of Adams with Tranter were complicated with royalties being paid and Tranter manufacturing for Adams. I won't go any further as I would be bound to get something wrong. This is an example of the 54 bore Tranter D/A.

    Always had a soft spot for the Adams family of revolvers.

    Happy to oblige! It's a funny thought but it was probably less than 80 years old when it came into the family.

    You unclip it and swing it round nearly 270 degrees clockwise so the lever in nearly at right angles to the barrel,

    As I understand it, there is no problem owning such pieces as curios but the moment I load one, it comes under the same rules as an unmentionable. To make matters worse, you actually need an explosives licence to buy and keep black powder. No doubt there are ways round it by being a member of...

    Another English revolver, a Webley "Longspur". What is rather unusual with this example is that the rammer is on the left hand side. I have found a few other examples all numbered in the 900s. The length of the backstrap is inscribed: "By Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent"

    It is the safety. You can see it better in this picture.

    Sorry,no. I would be too upset if anything came apart after all these years. Also UK firearms laws make it far from easy

    Wanting to put together a blunderbuss - It appears that they were kept rather plain back in the day..?

    This is an English example by Grice. I think it has just enough decoration to lift it from being plain.

    Finish on Civil War C&B Revolvers

    I understood the wedge/screw configuration swapped about S/No 1250. This is a second model in the 1700's.

    Rust Bluing Revolver Advice

    I have never attempted (nor will I) any blueing or browning, but I inherited a copy of Angier's "Firearm Blueing and Browning" (1936) from my father. The number of different recipes is mind-boggling and some of the ingredients are frightening.

    Wet BP Can it be used?

    After the failure of Fawkes to blow up James VI and I and his parliament, Catesby and other conspirators determined to continue with their treason. They stole gunpowder which got wet in the torrential rain. There was no sunshine to allow gentle drying so they spread it out in front of a fire...

    One problem is they are rather heavy. This is a second model made in France, proved in London.
