I love it Fingers...I thought I was the only one that had one.  What's your load for the C&B 73?

At least one of you members must have an 1873 Colt model to share with us!  :'(

I've had two, a 7 1/2" and an Artillery, 5 1/2".  The Artillery is gone and I have no photos of the Cavalry Model.  I'll get some for you.

Guess who came home?



When it left, it was chambered for the 45 long Colt, it now has a second cylinder for the 45 ACP cartridge.  It wears American ivory grips (smooth stag) and the ever popular Indian head penny for a front sight. 
Knowledge carried to the grave unshared, is wasted.
