Great googly mooglie 
What is that? The Mother ugly mother of all ugly guns.
Weird enough that I would buy it.

The Enfield was nick named old ugly so i guess it fits in this thread eh.
This one was issiued to David Mcgall a constable of the NWNP Came right from ireland off the boat enlisted into the NWMP in 1885
I bet he clubed a few guys with it in the years of service.
There was some big Matie upriseing in 1885 this gun was there keeping them under controll to some extent. It will blow big holes in stuff and i like the weight.
The action is pretty neat to.

This cutie was made by Kinapen. It's quite a big thing, a 7 inch barrel, in 11 mm. And even more handsome when opened.
Well thats a really nice looking pistol.
A well maintained beauty, I bet she shoots great!
cyclone's picture is a later LeMat probably made in Belgium,they were made in pinfire,cap and ball and cartridge versions, we are used to seeing the reproduction cap and ball version made by Pietta.

Oh cool, I stand corrected. I guess I was thinking only of the version that hit American shores.
I like that Kinapen.

Far cry from ugly! Does the "Transformer" audio clip play everytime it opens?
I think I heard the Transformer tune when I opened this one. It's a Robbins and Lawrence .31 cal 5 shot C&B. (but not so ugly)
Wow! these things are the coolest!! the Robbins and Lawrence appears to have started as octagon bar stock + 100,000 man hours. When were these pistols made? Any idea of approximate value when they were made?
Both Kinapin and Robbins and Lawrence?

The Robbins was made from about 1850-55. USA made. The caps are covered, and a revolving hammer. The ring is to #### it, trigger as ahead of the ring. Likely about $12.oo to compete. Or less. This gun has a de-cocking button on the back strap.
The Kinapen is from Belgium I think. About 1860 till 1870. Likely about the same price. Damn inflation.
Both these things work well, and as new bores.

Lord....shes a ###y one this!!
$12 was most likely 1/2 a years wages for the average Joe in 1850. My good Lord those are fine. I'd give my left nut just to be present when full cylinders from those two were emptied down range.
Sometimes ugly comes in a pair. One of these was on a different thread one time, but have a special place here. They are Savage .36 cal Navys. Most went to the big war. Made- 1861 till about 66.
Where's the rest of the less attractive stuff? I'm getting a complex.

So...middle finger is in the ring, cocking and index finger on the trigger?? That doesn't leave many digits to hold the gun

You almost need two hands to operate these things. Two guns at full speed on horse-back would be tough. They weren't well accepted in the war.
I would like to have them both working well enough to try them at the same time. Just once.
