Do you have any photos of the stock? Pics are worth a fortune!

Well I guess it goes to show the best use of these stocks are for showing off to others on the boards. In real world applications, they seem about useless. No wonder Sam Colt couldn’t sell any of them and the ones that did get in the field were quickly thrown into the nearest ditch. View attachment 43627

Not able to drag and drop pics from the gun sites now, here's one I took with my cellphone. Seller is asking $3000.00 for the set.
Yes, please do post those pictures of the handmade Eastern European shoulder stocks.I am not the best at organization of files on my computer. When I see something that has photos I create a folder concerning it and hope to heck I can remember where it can be found in my 68-year-old mind...

...I also have many photos of handmade shoulder stocks, several from Eastern Europe if you folks want me to post them.
I know I am probably the only one anal enough here to be interested to the depth I have taken this subject. My original quest was for information about shoulder stocks for a Dragoon revolver, but my Internet search has taken me much further.
Addictions are just that.
You folks stay safe and have a good night.

I rely like seeing the originals from yesteryear. they are works of art. I wonder why that no producer has replicated them by now?Here are a few early others w/ shoulder stocks;
Isn't an original 1860 worth more than $600?
Holy manure, they did. Lol.Did you see a photo of it?
I agree if the repro stock the guy is selling is a modern run-of-the-mill Pietta wood. However, I have found a few 20th century stocks that are worth considerably more than $300, one of which I own. The wood is dark stained tiger stripe maple. I challenge anyone here to come up with a similar stock, and I paid only $450 for the entire cased set. I think it's worth $900.
Not making fun of your post. Colt actually produced canteen type 1860 Army shoulder stocks that consisted of a metal canteen container sandwiched between two hollowed out stock halves. Very rare and worth quite a bit of $$$.

Here is a video on it and touching on stocks in general.

Have you ever seen the wire shoulder stock for Colt SAA’s ?
^^^ Definitely!!!
Thanks for posting.
I am certain similar stock were made here when people had a handgun, some wood and hardware, a desire for a carbine, and time on their hands.IMHO, I think the folks who created these shoulder stocks were interested in using them with their revolvers. They are obviously not correct insofar as Colt Type 3 stocks, and I think they must have used damaged stocks, maybe missing parts, or just used their skills to create them. They were obviously not trying to emulate the original Colt stocks, and again, I think they created them to use them. In my mind, I cannot think of another reason for them to do so.
Push back.

Jim
