Heres my Antique CUSTOM Remy 1858.
This gun is set up to shoot 44 Special. or 44 russian
Has a much nicer ballance than the long barreled 58s in percussion.
Bore is .430
Locks up and functions like a new gun

Geez Dingus where do you find these beauties. You must be on the net 24/7.

Cane Gun.

This cane has no makers mark but has S.N. It is a centre fire about 9 mm smooth bore with a 28 inch barrel and a folding trigger.It's in very nice cond. as it wasn't really used as a cane or a gun. Just a thing.

Brooklyn - Slocum

These .32 rimfires where made about 1863-4. It's a 5 shooter with sliding chambers. The idea of dropping cartriges in and closing the slides seems a little frail. My kid and I each fired one .32 short and put it away

It's in great shape.

Tingle .44c&b Pistol

Black Powder, yes. Antique, NO! From the '50s is this Bob Tingle .44 percussion, center-hammer action. The Tingle guns, both long and short, of various configurations, were produced only a very short time in Shelbyville, Indiana, about 20 miles south of the Indy 500 Speedway.

I bought one of these from Bob back in '53, sold it a few years later, and regretted it ever since. Even bought a matching numbered walnut buttstock for it. Beautiful outfit - both numbered 25. This one is numbered 51. All of Bob's guns are extremely hard to find on the market, and still sell for MUCH more than our newer front-stuffers.

There are Italian made, heavily engraved - no brass - clones of this gun still found fairly often at the online gun auctions. They're sold as "TINGLE" guns, even their boxes are marked with the name "TINGLE." But there's actually NO comparison with the workmanship of Bob's guns.

Never sure I get it right but just in case this is my latest. It has the smokeless frame so it's a keeper.

 

[Bittermansbro]

ooooh ahhh Jet....lucky bum. Year, calibre, history????

 

[Pre-1898]

These are my two latest. both antique in excellent condition made in 1895

The top one is now sold, and the other one is my keeper.

 

[Musketfire]

Never sure I get it right but just in case this is my latest. It has the smokeless frame so it's a keeper.

Single action armys are beautiful!!
I cannot even tell you how badly I want one!!

But the price Its like a down payment on a house

If one day I win the lottery I will get one, and then immediatly buy a set of mammoth ivory grips.

They are great old war horses, Every time I see one in the EE I just drool

 

[jetrefueller]

Hey Bitterman it's .41cal and it was made in 1896 so it's a prescribed antique.
I will be contacting Colt for a history if they have it. I hear you about the cost Musketfire but it's an investment. If I go broke I can always sell.

Whitney & Williamson

Top is a Whitney walking beam .31 cal 7 shot cap & ball, built in late 50's early 60's. Push the ring forward and back to revolve, then it's a single action. Strange internals on left side of cyl. Works fine. Bottom gun is a Williamson .32 cal teat fire front loader. (Cartridge loaded in the front of cyl.) Nice little gun in great shape. Late 1860's. I got it at an auction as an unknown .32 rimfire registered gun for 45.00. A good day....

 

[jetrefueller]

Hey Pre those are nice looking well built revolvers. Thats a real neat looking little .32 Oldiron and that Whitney is a beauty.

Manhattan

Top revolver is a Manhattan .36 cal 5 shot. Bottom is a Colt Pocket .31 cal 6 shot for comparison. Pretty close. I like the Manhattan action better, but it's hard to knock an old Colt...

 

[Smokepole]

Colt SAA 1873 .44 spl.. Made in 1880.

Antique Belgian British Bulldog .44 Webley. Only 6.5" OAL.

Plant's Eagle

This is a .30 cal cup-primed front loading 5 shot. The little bolt ejects the cases out forward. Made mid-60s. It's in good working cond. I'd like to find an Army .42 cal to go with it so
