Very nice Richard! I had a new Queen Anne pistol, sold it to "toot" a short time ago.

Hi, some muskets. A Springfield, Enfield, and Brown Bess.

Regards,
Richard

Love the "catch the fireball" pics. That's a good one Washburn!

Nice, Fingers! I also see something that looks like a period fountain pen, what make is that?
It's a no name give away ball point circa 2021.  It does look nice though

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.
.

No, I didn't have this for sale.  It's one of the guns I got from the Davis collection and isnt for sale - yet. I did have a Leech and Rigdon Sheriffs model listed that no one bid on. Probably had it priced too high.  I only offer prime stuff though. 

I'll probably be listing 10 or12 cap guns this week. Pair of unfired Navy Arms/GU G&GS with a 1960 date code are among the candidates. These still have packing grease on them.  And come with a custom case and period Euromanufacture bullet mold..

I saw the L&R Sheriff you had for sale. I'd love to have that one. But again, I'd ruin it's value and shoot it.

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


Beautimous pistol Richard. .

Hi, I sometimes let some of my BP revolvers out of the safe to spend a little time in the living room.

Regards,
Richard

I love that case, Richard. Did you buy it or build it?

Excellent display. You need to let them out more often.

I agree, Richard and Fingers have some pristine guns. Mine are not that nice, having been used. While I do take great care, they sometimes get a "character" mark..
