SOLD .45 cal New Orleans Ace

[msellers]

Have a very nice functioning New Orleans Ace pistol I am offering up for sale. Hate to sell it, but other priorities have to come first. Is small and light but feels good in the hand. Just replaced the neglected nippe with a brand new Ampco nipple if I remember correctly. Has some small handling marks and a little corrosion on the polished barrel. I rubbed all the rust (corrosion) back with 0000 steel wool, and oiled well. Is negligible, but wanted to give all info I had. The bore is clean and shiny, and the brass has a very appealing patina to it. Would make someone a very fun little smoothbore pistol. Also have a small weeping heart or acorn brass inlay that I was going to inlay like a thumb piece to hide the grip screw. Asking $130 shipped for it. I haven't fired this, but appears to have been very lightly used and mostly well cared for. The internals are mint looking.
Thanks,
Mike

what caliber?

 

[msellers]

44 or 45. I can't find my calipers at the moment. Smallest ball I have on hand is .454 and it to large to go down the smoothbore.

Found my calipers, drove an oversize ball through the barrel. It measures at .4400 seems to be slightly chocked in bore at the muzzle.
