What the heck! A 50 BMG sniper rifle you will load BP cartridges for.
Ok, no.
But you could be onto something, Marshal. At least you care moving in the right direction.

Nobody said it was a handgun and Will is on the ‘right track’  …  so
Captain has always liked the Quigley gun.  How about a nice Pedersoli Sharps in
45-70 or even 90.  To really ‘act out’ he’d prolly go 45-110.

Oh, my! it's getting a little warm in here! It's not a rolling block, though I would dearly love to have one!

Well, I already have a Pedersoli Sharps in .45/70, but not a Quigley. It's the 'Sporting Rifle' version, but it's getting downright toasty in here.
1 Point for G for staying on the trail and narrowing in on the caliber...

Look familiar, G?

OK, it’s something in .45 but whether it’s .45-70 etc. or .45 Colt is still an open question, correct?  Don’t know if we’re looking at a hand gun or long arms.  Need some little bit of a predicate off which to induce/deduce.  I guess that would be called a “hint”. 

Gonna be a cool piece - we know that much. (7&

1860 Henry,  .45 Colt.     You stated you already have a cousin of your new aquisition.   Your 1866 Winchester would qualify.
