Antique Photos--Post what you got

I think it's beautiful. Can you still get ammo for it?? My problem with antiques is that I don't reload.

that is why i now reload. couldn't find 455 ammo for the webley and it's been a rabbit hole ever since.

Just components, so far my only struggle is finding brass, it shows up every now and then. It’s really not that hard as far as reloading goes.

A small collection of large-frame pinfire revolvers. Most are based on the Lefaucheux M1854 pattern. The two blunderbuss pistols are chambered for 16ga shot.




A selection of pinfire cartridges from 2mm to 15mm, blanks, solid lead and grape shot.

1884 Springfield Trapdoor mfg 1889, I think she would qualify as NRA Excellent (Antique)

Love those trade guns. I am jealous.

A rare French Maréchaussée pistol, cal. 15,2mm.
And "rarissimo", absolutely brand new.
222 years old and never been fired.

I won't ramble on at great length, but I was in the market for a legal bush carry pistol. I was looking at the Webley's, but they were too pricey for this old pensioner. I lucked into a nice Smith & Wesson 1st. Model Double Action, and never looked back. I have all the reloading needfuls for .44 Russian and I had several of these pistols pass through my hands before I found my "keeper". Some of the others though were real beauties which I'd thought I'd post for their appeal.

Have you fired the sharps? Paper or just powder and ball? How much do they leak? Do you really get that much back in your face? Beautiful collection

Now I've finally figured out how to post images, I can show you my 1858 Robert T Pritchett Volunteer short rifle, based on the P51 Enfield.




Unlike the P51, it has a hook breech.

The Short Rifle MkII snider underneath came from Quebec - The Garrison Artillery Battery rack #102. I shoot Martyn Robinson's .600" bullets with great lack of effect.....it was a birthday gift a few years back from a pal who moved to France to escape the Brexit fiasco.

Great bore, too -

Winchester - Little Big Horn

My dad bought my brother and I each one of these when we were kids. It’s being in storage unhandled unfired on dry fire since probably 1975. The box is a little dog eared.

Using a pair of gloves, I’ve confirmed that it does indeed ####. It is not all gummed up but sure could use lube.

Any thoughts on the value?

These commemorative Winchesters sell for between $1500 and $2500, depending on condition. Most of them are in their original boxes, many with original sales receipts and even price tags on the boxes. I see them frequently at gunshows. Yours looks like it's got a bit of tarnish on the brass. Could come off - or not?
