BP Arn You have a great collection. May I ask where you get your holsters or do you make them? It’s time I get one for my Pietta 1851 .44.
They are on Gunbroker all the time. I think it was about $120. I bought it last spring.
Thanks! I made all of the holsters, except for the black flap holster.
Hahaha! My first was the middle Walker in the photo, purchased new in 1975 for the hefty sum of $87.40 from E.M.F. Co. in Burbank CA. Still have the receipt and box. I was 15. Would not part with her for any sum. A couple others I've had nearly as long. The LeMat and Starr were bought new in the '90's, never fired either. Two newest are the Pocket Navy and the second 1860 (from the top). I've owned a lot more than these over the years, two Uberti Patersons (never could get too excited over them, even with their history), several "Wells Fargo' (ugly little beasts >shudder<), two 3rd Model Dragoons (like the 1st Model the best), some '58 Remingtons, assorted '49s, '51, '60s, & '62s, Whitneyville "Transition" Walkers, bunch of others I don't recall. I can blame Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood and Mr. Blackwell (my high school wood shop teacher) for my love of these revolvers.
thank you for the reply with the history lesion on them you have a group that you can & are verry proud of. thank you for sharing them! I agree with you on the PATTERSON, I have a cased one in a walnut box, with all of the accessories in it and have had it for years and haven't shot mine either, probably never will. where did you get the SKELETION frame stock, it is just killer. it you don't mind me asking?

toot,
If you're referring to the shoulder stocked, long barreled 1851, this was what EMF called their 'Ballister" model. Bought it new in 1976. Cost for the entire rig (gun & stock).....$79.00.
Cliffdweller, I like that birds head grip 1858. How does it feel compared to a regular '58 ? How did you do that ?
Hi, I bought it like that from someone and I thought I’d like it better BUT it kinda bashes into your knuckles a little when fired unless you hold it a certain way, but I do still like it!! Maybe it’s just my sausage fingers

You know those special presentation pistols they used to offer from I think from the US Commem. Society? I was at a swap meet and a guy had one in the case, but the case was beat up and some stuff inside was missing, so I just threw the case away and now have a beautiful, usable Uberti M1860 Army. It has gorgeous, deep, polished blue, fancy figured high-end wood grips, and lots of gold lettering and designs on the cylinder; it's a Gettysburg commemorative. If something's in the case, you don't even want to TOUCH it, but this way, it gets used! Just my personal experience. Got one of those new-fangeled cylinders for it that take the stuff that superceded loose ball-n-powder, too.
Cliffdweller ,They still look good
I know I still love the look of them too.
I’ve acquired a couple more since those pics too. I think I have a cap’n’ball problem
