The top 3 are 44
What model of 1858 is it?
Third from top is a Pietta sheriff. The third from the bottom is a Pietta brass frame I put brass black on
After looking close could see it was a 5 1/2 inch barrel like the Sheriff. The Navy looks the same but the barrel is about 3/4 inch longer. Have you shot the sheriff and if so how did you like it as a shooter?
 
My pair of newly acquired Colt 1851s...

This is a LeMat Cavalry, the box that came with it says Navy Arms but I do not see any markings on the revolver that says who made it, only an SN by the trigger guard.
And as my other posts say, I cannot locate any caps #10 or #11 but I did measure the nipple at .166 and the height at .165 so CCI # 11 is what I think I need. I will try .22 LR cut. then will have to make my own with a punch if the .22 LR don't work.
I have not fired this one yet. I may just display it and purchase a Walker .44 to shoot regular with.

Had the holster and belt custom made. Left cross draw.

I would figure out a way to shoot that sumbitch.

There are caps available on line from reputable vendors.

Heck I would give you some caps if you were closer just to help out.
 
I bought over 40 revolvers last year, and I realize I may have too many, lol

these modern facsimiles are merely collectible to me (unfired) because I fire my original Colts (mid-1800s vintage)

Nice to be among fellow forum members who also enjoy shooting their historical firearms.

Auldjin,
Your screen name makes me smile!
That's just how my mate from Castle Douglas would say it!

Good to have the comparison, and thank you! Does yours have a retailer?
Can I ask how you like the double trigger?
To me, it's the best thing since sliced bread.
The comparison above also shows yours to be in much better condition. Congrats on finding it, or it finding you!

This is a Fourth model I used to own.
Different rammer again.View attachment 181274View attachment 181275

Sorry, I just realised I did not answer your question about the retailer!
 
Misplaced a stainless trigger pivot screw so I threw in some blued spares I have! Kinda digging the look

Here are my two revolvers plus other pistols. I bought the Remington a few years ago from a young man who had only shot it a few times then decided cap-n-ball was not for him.
The Colt I bought new in 1974, for $74.95.
I bought the derringer a couple of years ago because I wanted a pistol like the one Booth assisted Lincoln with. Mine is very close, lacking a butt cap which I plan to add.
The second pic shows my two flintlock pistols. The top one is an Avon, with the smelly stuff still inside. The other one is a cheap plastic toy.
