Belgian Centennial 1807 Harpers Ferry Pistol

[BigSkyRambler]

I picked up one of those Belgian copies of the 1807 Harpers Ferry pistols made by Centaur. Marked Centennial. From what I can tell, these were only made for a couple of years and are quite collectable. I am very familiar with their 1860 Army revolvers and grab every one I can find when the price is right. Anyone here have the 1807?

I like the looks of it. Very nice find.

Don't plan on shooting it. Going to sell it. Stay tuned!

Yep! I was gifted this Centennial kit in May by a 92 yr. old friend. He said it was bought in the late 60's. He started the build but never finished it. Been in a cardboard box in his basement ever since. Needless to say it was in rough shape with some missing parts. Should be an interesting project.

Nice looking pistol Big Sky.

Mr. 56cal the wood on your kit is beautiful and the "roughness" of the metal is just proper aging.

Yessir. I hope I can preserve that natural patina and match new parts as well.
