Nice starrs. Thanks for sharing. - dan
Thanks for the positive comments.
Here are some more photos of the Starr D.A. which we purchased in 1971.
My Father and I shot this revolver.
It was registered when we got it ---we finally got it de-registered. (as it is an antique)

It is interesting how things work out sometimes.
On March 9 2019 I saw the Starr S.A. on a vendor's table at the Montreal gun show.
The owner was from Ontario and not a regular at this show.
I had never seen a S.A. before and I asked this fellow if he would be interested in trading it for a M1860 Colt Army revolver.
After the show he drove to my house and the trade was made.
(I had received the Colt Army in a complicated deal back in 1989-----I had since purchased a better one.)
============================================================
I got the Starr carbine as part of a deal for my Artillery Luger.
I don’t remember where I found this?
The percussion Starr Carbine could use Sharps cartridges, and in many cases, units equipped with Starr Carbines were issued Sharps cartridges.

1971/72 was a rather unusual year for my gun purchases.
All of the guns shown below were bought from the same collector. (Including the D.A. Starr revolver shown above.)
THESE TWO HAVE SINCE BEEN SOLD.
I bought them both as full autos for $150 back in the early 70's and sold them as converted autos (12-3s) for $3,500 for the Lanchester and $3,000 for the MP40
During an amnesty period back in 2003 I went to a lot of trouble to get these two guns registered. (Converted from full auto to 12-3 converted autos)
