I gave this rifle to my Father for Christmas in 1965.

He died in September 1979 but before that we used to shoot it at the Brockville shooting range.

In 1969 the Wheeler & Son pistol was added to the percussion arsenal.
We ordered balls from Dixie Gun Works and shot it as well.

We bought both of the revolvers shown below from the same collector in Montreal in July 1971.
They did not like the music so they had to live in a gun cabinet. (But we shot both of them at the Brockville shooting range.)

In 2020 I bought a holster that fit both of the revolvers shown above----UNFORTUNATELY it cost many times more than both the revolvers together.
