My Uberti Model 1849. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Mine came from the Dr Davis collection. Serial number 38 made in 1959, probably the first week or production according to the Cenetaur Revolver Collectors Group in Germany. The earliest ones had no cylinder engraving.

I'm with Musketeer. Something not right about the gun to be a Pedersoli. It might be a parts musket built around a Pedersoli lock. It might be a nice musket overall, but the price is too steep, even for a bonified used Pedersoli.

Pietta said there were going to re-start production of the Starrs back in 2019. It never happened. I think they realized that the cost would not encouarge many purchases. They were about $550 when the last batch sold out years ago. I was lucky to get a good used Single Action a while back.

Yes, cartridges were made for single shot pistols long before the Civil War. For the 54 caliber smoothbore pistols that emerged starting with the model 1805, they used a .525 ball and the appropriate powder charge. 35 grains for the percussion guns, not sure about the flintlock ones. They looked...

Dennis, thanks for adding to the discussion. Even it was more than four each, it could not have been very many. Mr. Edwards never took the bait and contracted with RigArmi. I suppose he just sold off all the sample revolvers. Mine was found in a pawn shop in Huntsville, AL.

I need to start a data base of all the known Eduards marked revolvers.

Mine is 13009. All those found so far are very close, possibly the same day or week of production .

My Bill Eduards marked RigArmi Remington.

I also have one of the Bill Eduards marked Remingtons. I think 5 or 6 have surfaced so far. I suspect there are others, and many more than Dr Jim Davis suggested in some if his writings. If you dont mind, share your serial number. My serial number is 13009. At last count, mine had the...

Yes, an older Uberti. Very nice find.

Made by Rino Galesi Armi also known as Rigarmi. Notice the RG marking on the loading lever. They went out of business in the 1980s if I remember right. I have one. it is the most undersized of all the Remington New Model Army replicas compared to an original. Any markings on the top flat...

With artillery, the danger is embers left from the woolen powder bag, the base of which was often left in the breech of the gun. That is why us modern cannoneers usually use alum foil powder cylinders instead of fabric. We worm AND sponge between shots to ensure the is nothing left in the...

"Skirmisher" refers to a North-South Skirmish Assn competitor. You have revolver worked over and rebarreled by Tom Ball. He did most of his with gain twist rifling. Congrats on a great find. It should be a tack driver with the right load.

I've never been scammed by anyone on Gunbroker, but I have seen some amazing run on prices there. It is the Ebay of guns with the largest population of bidders. It is a great place to sell, but not a great place to buy with all the competition. That being said, I have also gotten some great...

I highly recomment Capt Brett Gibbon's book on the subject. He will give you more information about the developement of Enfield Cartridge and how it evolved than you can remember. His other book, "The Destroying Angel" is all so excellent. It examines the rifle musket in use in the Crimea, US...

On the used market the Euroarms paid better attention to historical details than the Armi-Sport (Chiappa). Both are reliable and will shoot straight, but the Euroarms is a notch up on authenticity. The current Pedersolis are excellent. Especially their P53 Enfield. It is the most authentic...

I'm not sure how many percussion revolvers I have. 18 or 20 perhaps? Here is one of my favorites. This is an Uberti .36 Cal Dance Revolver imported by SMLS of Angelton Texas in 1981. Only 50 of these were made, along with another 50 commemorative versions. The photos don't do the high degree...

Welcome. I'm just south of you in North Alabama.

Welcome, I grew up in Little Rock, but I have lived in Alabama since 1989.
