Hi, as a special gift to this thread and my friends here, I have photos to share taken by LeatherSmithMike when he was selling his Uberti 1851 New England collector's edition. Yes, I proudly own this revolver.

Regards,
Richard

That '51 Navy looks even better than I remember Richard.    Happy to see it is appreciated.   It was just gathering dust in my basement.

Nice, Fingers! I also see something that looks like a period fountain pen, what make is that?

Hi Mike, what else do you have gathering dust in your basement that you are looking to sell?

I can see why it's your favorite Richard. It would be mine as well, if it were mine.

Fingers, that stainless Marshal Navy is awesome. Is that the one you had for sale? I'm glad you own it and not me. I'd shoot it and ruin it's value if it were mine.

Yeah, I know...Pietta "Fantasy Gun"...and a brasser to boot. But it's a pretty cool little package; well balanced and a buttery-smooth action.

Love that Harper's Ferry Richard. I still want to own one someday. It's really the only flintlock pistol I have any interest in.

Capt, that Sheriff model is indeed a cool little gun. I had the same one and had lots of fun with it. Historically correct or not.

Here's one in the same vein as the Capt's picture.

Hi, a very popular pistol in its day, the Queen Anne. The photos are of a finished Queen Anne kit. Typical Queen Anne barrels were in the white, but my kit's barrel was nitre blued. I think it came out pretty nice.

Regards,
Richard
