What is the top one? (longer barrel)

 

[Bad Karma]

Do colts have the date code? This one is not Italian made. I`lol look again for more markings but it`s pretty devoid of marks

No. They’re not date coded.

A photo of my 1851 Navy. I shortened the barrel to 4 3/4” and crowned the barrel. Removed the loading lever. I load with a loading stand and keep several loaded cylinders with me.

 

[Mark 1955]

A druggy stole $14,000 of my firearms. He was caught but I never recovered a single rifle or pistol. He got a free lawyer and only spent 1 year in prison. He has returned to my community to continue stealing. Sheriff doesn't do anything about it. He doesn't work so I can't sue him in civil court for damages. The courts and prison system wont tell me where he lives , etc. I'm still so angry about the robbery, the justice system and government that I just wish I could scream. My only hope is that he ODs and dies a slow miserable death.

I know the feeling...

I meant "cant find who made it"

Got this on Wed. Ruined the bluing on Thursday. Oh well, it is what it is.

Colt never made a brass framed 1851, so I believe that is a copy of a Griswold & Gunnison revolver, which was a brass framed copy of a Colt 1851, but with a plain cylinder. These were made for the Confederacy during the Civil War.

Here is mine:

EDIT TO ADD: No, I was wrong; the barrel on yours is octagonal. On the G&G, the barrels were round.

How did you ruin the bluing? How about some pictures, please?

 

[Grenadier1758]

Read the thread by @JimKim asking if bluing is water soluble. I think he got to cleaning his revolver with water that had some vinegar left in it from cleaning his coffee pot.

 

[JimKim]

Before and after. I used my coffee maker to warm the water. Apparently, it still had vinegar in the tank from an earlier cleaning.

 

[JimKim]

That's what I get for cleaning while sleepy. It still shoots good, and the case hardening still looks good.

 

[Packrat]

What is the top one? (longer barrel)

That is the 1838 / 1839 Patterson

 

[Lippy984]

That is the 1838 / 1839 Patterson

Thought so, I just haven’t seen one with a loading lever like that.

I feel your pain.

Here is a little better picture of the revolvers...

I recognize that old CVA bowie. I bought and built the same kit many years ago and still own it.

Here is my newest find. It is a 3rd model civilian Dragoon. Uberti did a good job on this one. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.
