I see a date code AT (1988) over-stamped on both serial numbers. Looks nice enough, but this is a rare case where I have all I need/want. For now.

DGG = Armi San Paolo, Italy. (At least I’m pretty sure…)

I agree except - as I posted before, I learned that some of the Parker Hale pattern 1853 (“three-band”) Enfields had 1:48 rifling. I was told that they were made for the U.S. market. I have two PH p1853 Enfields, in both 1:48 and 1:78 rifling. They are both accurate and I’m not convinced that...

I have a Palmetto 1849 clone, "Hartford Pocket Model." BN/2000 proof date. It's very clean and I believe it's unfired. Price is negotiable, but certainly less than a new Uberti. (No offense meant to blackpowderbill!) PM if interested.

Anything for another Dead Head.

I wasn't asked about the underside of the barrels. :)

Here are pics of my two percussion Cimarron revolvers. Only the cartridge guns have "Italy" on the barrel signature.

I’ll take that. Sending PM.

It’s a bit late now but I can post pics tomorrow.

I have four Cimarrons, two Colt percussion revolvers and two Colt cartridge revolvers. All have Cimarron’s name on the top of the barrel. At least on the percussion revolvers (1st model Dragoon and 1851 Navy) Cimarron tried to mimic the old Colt engraving; it’s subtle and not too distracting...

My experience with the reproduction brass molds has not been good. I have heavy welders' gloves and they still get too hot to hold. Both the round balls and the conicals were out of round and not suitable for shooting. I have cast bullets with an original Colt mold for my .28 caliber Root...

Sending PM.

Best of luck bringing these back to life!

Maybe it’s just the reflections but the trigger guard and grip frame sure look to be silver or maybe nickel plated. Can you clarify? I have a couple of ASM pocket revolvers that have square trigger guards. All the Piettas and Ubertis I’ve seen have round trigger guards. Still a good deal on your...

This thread was sort of derailed by all the posts about brass frames. I’m not criticizing but I had to read through everything then realized that no one seems to have been curious about this gun like I am. Is this photo indeed the gun that you bought for $250?! At first glance I thought that...

I have been thinking about getting a new spring. I’ll check out VTI. Thanks for the tip!

Greetings all! I have two 1863 pocket Remingtons. (No, I don't need two, but you know how these things happen.) I took one to the range and found that it misfired (no cap detonation) on nearly every shot. I cycled through a couple of times and one or two finally went off but I still had to...

Coincidentally, I just took my new (to me) and fired only once before Uberti 1861 Navy to the range today to check the accuracy. First cylinder at urban combat distance (is that a term?) of about 7 yards with a bench rest gave one ragged hole at POA. My indoor pistol range is only about 18 yards...

I’ll give it a shot. Pietta “reproduction” of a Colt 1851 Navy, proof date of 1997. It’s not exactly a reproduction because (1) Colt did not use brass frames and (2) the 1851 Navy was only chambered in .36 caliber. No Confederate clones of the 1851 were chambered in .44 that I’ve read about but...

Powder load? Target distance? POA?
