Recent .36 and .44 caliber cartridge purchases ---new stuff added.

[drm3m]

I try to have one correct cartridge for each gun in my antique collection (handgun or long gun.)
I recently purchased the .36 and .44 caliber cartridges shown below. (I still do not have a .31 caliber cartridge.)



Three .44 caliber Civil War revolvers.



Two '51 Colt Navy .36 caliber revolvers.



Two early .36 caliber double action revolvers ---a Cooper Second Model Navy revolver (5 shot) and an early Remington-Rider D/A New Model Belt Revolver with a six shot fluted cylinder.



This stuff belongs to me.



These two pieces do not belong to me.

The conversions were made in a factory in Trenton, New Jersey, expressly for the Fenian Brotherhood, for their raid into Canada in 1870. (bottom)

Interesting post. Nice to see these early cartridges with the firearms. Sometimes the cartridges are harder to find than the firearms.

Thanks for posting.

Powderman on June 24 2001 I went to the Gettysburg Civil War Show and bought this bullet display.
I was convinced that I would never be able to find this stuff where I live. (I also bought a very nice M1860 Colt Army Revolver which was not part of my plan back then.)



The Colt.



This is where the recently purchased 'live cartridges' end up.

What a fantastic Model 1860.

I hope law abiding Canadians will not have to turn these pieces of history in for destruction if the proposed handgun ban goes through!

Powderman
