Colt 1851 Navy

My old shooter, circa 1853.KD

 

[mooncoon]

My newest toy; lock is made by AW Spies, a New York dealer @ 1850. Barrel is 1.25" accross the flats and is .34 caliber. The gun was broken completely through the lock area and I have put it together shot it today for the first time; seems to be accurate.

cheers mooncoon

I believe those are the old school colts. "New Line"
If you can find one in "41LC" they are legal antiques.

41 brass/dies can be found so u can still shoot it fairly easily. Dingus used to have one for sale. i believ eit aws $1900 way back in the day.

 

[dingus]

Well i was gona let the wiz answer this as its his gun but i have owned two of em.
There Not New lines.
This is the colt mod= 1892 41 long colt new army & navy you have to be carefull with these as they were made into the 1900s they have a ser # cut off date for being Antique.
There one of the nicest revolvers to hold as there so light and have the best trigger squeez of any gun i shot! well mine did im sure Wizards is good to.

There is a Colt new line series but they were mainly RF as in Rim Fire The Wizard has a sweet one of them to in 30 RF i belive he posted pics of it somewhere here.
I sold two 41 long colt Antique revolvers at around $1200 each which was a good deal

Dingus is 100% correct. And just for the record, my .41 is not for sale. Just for reference, here is my Colt Newline .30

Really nice gun Dingus!!!!!

Now I have to admit that you found THE way to make me jealous. YOU REALLY DID!!!!!! To me its one of the damn best looking antique revolver I' ve seen !

 

[Win 38-55]

Here is my original S&W New Model #3 in .44 Russian. Not sure the date it was made, but one fellow on the S&W forum said the serial # indicated 1879 or 1880. With 9.5 grains of 2400, it sends a 256 grain (actual weight from a 245 grain Keith mould) cast Keith bullet out the barrel at 800 fps.

 

[Killer Kanuck]

Although she's not an antique because of the caliber, she old enough to be one, so I'll post a pic or 2.
Model 1893 Marlin - serial # and lack of a third patent date points to an early 1893 manufacture date. Chambered in 38-55. The only thing "wrong" with her is somebody trimmed a bit off the S shaped butt and reshaped the plate.

Here's a nice (Belgian) British Bulldog I recently bought from Dingus.
She's chambered in .450 Boxer, 5 shots.

For its age, it functions well.

I was reading a book recently called "The Mountain Men" which tells how trappers drove a tack into their rifle/gun for every indian they killed in a skirmish.

New toy for my collection !!!! YES !!!!

Hi guys, here is my newly acquired antique revolver. It is a .450 caliber British tip-up
'' SPIRLET '' type action . It is in fine condition with excellent lock up, the blue is about 50% and is turning brown and there is absolutely no pitting. The grips has no crack, and only minor handling marks.

Nice one! Is it ex-TPF?

 

[dingus]

No its 450 so not from toronto if thats what you meen by TPF as they used some weird caliber so if there guns were grabed and used by crimnals they only had a few rds then the guns were useless cause they couldnt use normally found ammo in em.
Thats one idea!

The other is that or our goverment got a deal on em cause they were cheep they were 430 or something weird like that

This one could of been from the British police its not and Ausi one as alot were.
Im still doing reserch on it, The badge # makes me think england maby also it says on tops strap
P. WEBLEY & SON
LONDON & BIRMINGHAM so its gota be english coppers me thinks.
In any case im sure likeing it.

 

[tiriaq]

The TPF ones may have been .442. Just wondered, because I've seen the odd one in ON that were from Toronto. One had a commercially installed skull crusher ball on the butt.
