Another aspect: ASM made two variants of the Walker. In the more common variant the upper end of the grip panels is a straight line. They account for ca. 90 % of the total Walker production. Some 10 % only were made with the historical round upper end of the grip panels. A few of these are of...

Looks like a Remington New Model 1863 Army to me. If it is an original or a repro I have no idea because I was never really interested in this model. Long Johns Wolf

Sethwyo, you may want to check back with www.1960nma.org to read more about these Belgian Centaure C&B revolvers. On that website there is some of information on these licensed brothers of the venerable Colt 1860 Army. Long Johns Wolf

Interesting discussion. Here are my 2 €-Cents after having studied the Centaures and their makers since 2007: To some it is all about emotions, memories of the time when we were younger ... Because these Belgian made Colt 1960 pattern pistols aka Centaures have a lot of history. The were among...

These safety notches are also on my 1975 MOFRA S&B. Long Johns Wolf

Visited that Lonesome Dove exhibition in 2012. At that time Gus McCrae's ASM Walker was still labeled as a Dragoon ... like in Larry McMurtry's book. Long Johns Wolf

The 79 on the breech side of the cylinder might be the last digits of the serial number. Could you post a pic of your pistol, please? Because I like to get an idea if and when GU got into making the 1862 Police and the 1849 Pocket. Thanks. Long Johns Wolf

My G&U Navy #5239 has the year code XVIII for 1962. Long Johns Wolf

What a find. Congrats and 1960 proof mark, i.e. first year of production of the G&U made Remmies. These were actually the first Remington NM 1863 Army replicas made. Long Johns Wolf

Stumbled over this Dragoon together with its little Baby Dragoon brother. Serial number of the .44 is three digits, i.e. #69X but no date code anywhere on the pistol, even after complete disassembly. Any toughts when it was made? And have you ever seen a Dragoon - original or repliction - where...

The 2nd and 3rd gen 1860s I owned suffered the short arbor. Long Johns Wolf

Between 1974 and 1976 High Standard in the USA marketed three Civil War percussion revolvers of the South in limited editions. They were all .36 cal.. Models available were the Griswold & Gunnison, the Leech & Rigdon and the Schneider and Glassik. To the best of my knowledge they came cased...

Looks like an old ASM made Colt 1849 Pocket in .31 cal. with round barrel to me. Long Johns Wolf

Yes, according to Pietta. But only small size batches and not each and every year. Long Johns Wolf
