Now, now, now…what kind of foolish talk is that? But…if you’re giving any away, I would be happy to help you out.

Noted!!

Ok, so I don’t have any cap and ball revolvers (yet), but here are my two Kentucky pistols in .45 and .50

Ok, I’ll show my non revolvers too.

The flint is a .50 and the little brother is a .41. Thanks.

Another English revolver, a Webley "Longspur". What is rather unusual with this example is that the rammer is on the left hand side. I have found a few other examples all numbered in the 900s.

The length of the backstrap is inscribed: "By Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent"

That is quite interesting - how does the rammer work?

 

[Auldjin]

You unclip it and swing it round nearly 270 degrees clockwise so the lever in nearly at right angles to the barrel,

That’s a great story about the London Navy. Makes you wonder when it was loaded. Love to see a pic if it’s still around!

Happy to oblige! It's a funny thought but it was probably less than 80 years old when it came into the family.

That London 1851 Colt Navy is wonderful and a great family story. Thanks for posting.

All of these examples are gorgeous.

Bad Karma, is this a Super Blackhawk frame on your ROA?

Beaumont-Adams P.1856 .44 five-shot. extremely accurate, though the lack of a recoil shield is a tad disconcerting.

Always had a soft spot for the Adams family of revolvers.

Ah man, I need to thin out this herd...:

The relationship of Adams with Tranter were complicated with royalties being paid and Tranter manufacturing for Adams. I won't go any further as I would be bound to get something wrong.

This is an example of the 54 bore Tranter D/A.

a rely very nice pair. are they SPANISH, CVA'S?

Thank you! The lighter stained one is a CVA Kentucky .45 from 1983. The darker stained one is a Traditions Kentucky .50 from 2019. I believe that would make them both Spanish.

It is the safety. You can see it better in this picture.

Thanks for the photo; so it can be carried fully loaded having a safety and I note the offset hammer making sighting easier.
Mr. Beattie put some thought into his design (I’d love to fire it).

It is. I’m a big fan of this frame. It fits my hand better and as a side benefit I think it balances the big frame and cylinder of the ROA too.
