Pinfire

[ZQ8 Noma]

Not quite sure where this fits in on the forum. I'm just trying to get some info on these 2 pinfire guns. See if they are worth anything? Does anyone collect them? Any interest in them? I have the one empty cartridge, is there a place to get more?

Google "Bob Urso" If you send him an email, he should be able to answer all your questions. Ammunition for these is pricey.

"...worth anything?..." Not in that condition.
"...place to get more?..." No. Collector stuff. None made since the 1870's or thereabouts.

I don't know about the rifle but the pistols are still made today (ammo too)and sell for about $120.00 they even have a pepperbox revolver.

Pinfires were made as small as 2mm and 3mm ( you can see) and were populer with museums for shooting specimens without blowing them to bits. A 2mm or 3mm will KILL a Hummingbird; a 12-bore would turn it into SOUP..... if you could actually find any.

NEAT!
