    SOLD Original Harper’s Ferry 1816 flintlock

    It's that white sheet that throwing off the auto-exposure meter in either your camera or your phone's camera. Go outside and put it on some weathered wood if you have a porch or a deck.

    Prettiest Cap and Ball

    I got lucky on this case. It was one that a customer had canceled on, so Bill listed it on the Colt forum in the classifieds. Consequently, there was no wait time. The only time I ordered a double case from Bill, which was maybe 2 years ago, I think it was between 4 and 5 weeks turnaround...

    Prettiest Cap and Ball

    If one Colt 2nd gen 1861 Navy is pretty then two are twice as pretty. I just received this new double case made by Bill Shumate (Billscases.com) to give this consecutively numbered pair a new home. Bill uses African mahogany to make his historically authentic cases just like those that Sam...

    Lets see some percussion revolvers!

    You are correct about the 2nd and even 3rd generation percussion Colts. There's just been a privately published book on collection both the 2nd and 3rd gens. The author/publisher has the book listed on eBay. Everybody on the Colt forum is raving about the book. Unfortunately, my copy which...

    Lets see some percussion revolvers!

    Thanks! I spotted them on eBay a few months ago. The seller had them priced low with a "make me an offer" option. I made him an offer of $150 and he took it. There are a couple of period leather makers out there who will make these to order for reenactors but they get a bit more than I...

    Lets see some percussion revolvers!

    I bought my first Colt 2nd gen Navy around 1972. It was a cased Robert E. Lee commemorative. I then traded that for a cased double set with both the RE Lee and the US Grant. There were only 250 double sets made, but somebody made a deal I couldn't refuse so I let the double go and then just...

    WANTED 1841 Mississippi rifle

    It's not N-SSA.com but instead is N-SSA.org. Looking at their for sale and trade forum at least 3 Mississippi rifles have been listed and sold in the last 3 weeks. These have usually been de-farbed and made more to spec than a stock Italian repros. I saw one that listed for as low as $750...

    What was Jed's rifle?

    John Wayne hardly ever carried the correct period firearms for most of his westerns. From 1939's Stagecoach to 1969's True Grit, he carried a sometimes correct Colt SAA and a usually incorrect 1892 carbine--most of the time with the fantasy loop lever. Stunt man Yakima Canutt, Wayne, and John...

    Hello from Central Arkansas

    Yes, I just turned 75 the weekend before last but still in generally good health. Unfortunately, It's just going to be a while before I can get to the range to do any shooting, and will probably miss the hunting season altogether. Thus, my first story and not a particularly happy one: I...

    Hello from Central Arkansas

    Hello--I actually joined sometime back but just never got around to posting much. I'll try to remedy that in the coming year. Glad to be here--- in fact at my age, I'm glad to be anywhere! Cheers

    Recent flintlock pistol acquisition with props

    I got this recently just to check off an item that has been on my bucket list for many years. An all-metal Scottish Murdoch style flintlock like those originally made in Doune, Scotland from the latter half of the 18th century to the early 19th century. Most originals were purchased by...

    Cannon barrel vendors?

    J. Paul Barnett started the company and it was originally's named "Barney's cannons". At some point he renamed the company "Southbend Replicas" since it was located in South Bend, Indiana. Mr. Barnett passed away about 10 years ago and the business was taken over by Mr. Jim Olsen who had...
