AUSTRIAN GASSER, M.1874: 11mm, VG, $900. One of the largest revolvers ever made. Mine is complete and looks good, but doesn't work and someone has filed back the forcing cone and cylinder sleeve. See below.

BELGIAN CONSTABULARY REVOLVER: .38 S&W, G, $160. Pocket 6-shot type with lanyard ring. Works perfectly. One chamber is cracked and filled with lead(barely visible).

BRITISH CONTRACT REVOLVER, P.1915: .455, VG, $350, FFL. 90% original blue finish with some scatterd pitting. Horn grips marked "1914". Works good and has a shiney bore. These were purchased from Spain by the British government in WWI. British inspection marks.

COLT 1851 NAVY revolver: .36, G, $425. 2nd generation; made in 1973 by Colt. Works fine, antique finish; hard to tell from an original; markings are the same. Wedge adjust feature(on cylinder pin). LH military holster.

COLT 1878 "FRONTIER SIX-SHOOTER": .44-40, G, $850. Repaired grip and mis-matched loading gate. Pitted bore has good rifling, original 5.5" barrel. 2" groups...Another, this time in .38-40, old renickel. repaired grip, replaced cylinder,  good bore, works good, $600.

CSA marked pinfire revolver: 7mm, G, $125. Works good, replaced ejector, brown finish. Lightly stamped on frame with original scroll style CSA die. Ask for pic. Unfortunately, this gun was made after 1893 and the CSA never used revolvers this small.

DREYSE 1907: .32acp, G, $160, FFL. Funky WWI German auto pistol with early slide serrations & matching #s, but with pitting and poor bore ...Another, late type, VG, $225 FFL(not ready). Holsters.

Works perfectly and has a nice bore, but chambers are converted to .44 Russian.  Some parts not matching. Battered area around cylinder pin; missing pin retainer. Repaired trigger sear.  I used this in Cowboy Action Shooting; windage is right on, but shoots a little high.

GERMAN REICHS REVOLVER, M.1879 relic or shooter: 11mm/.44, G, $600. 25% severe pitting, matching #s, repaired grips. 5 chambers will accept .44 Russians; tiny dent in 6th not visible to 50-year old eyes.

JO-LO-AR shooter: 9mm Largo, G, $250, FFL. Scarce & weird Spanish auto made in 1925. These were cavalry pistols with slides cocked by one hand. Mine is missing the lever(palanca) which made this possible, but it could  be easily fashioned from 5/16" bar stock(remind me to furnish a photo copy of one). Instead, someone has installed a cocking knob, because the slide has no serrations. My gun has been thru a lot, probably fired with .38 Supers which fit fine but are way too hot. It works perfectly, but the slide is bent slightly, the hammer pin is incorrect, and there are some file marks in the barrel hinge area. Repaired left grip, holster... One much better, VG, $850.  Learn more

MARTZ CUSTOM? Papa Nambu: Converted to .30 Luger with 6" barrel. EX, $1500, FFL.

MERWIN HULBERT spur trigger revolver: .22, VG, $300. Cut little 7-shot ladies' tip-up, Merwin's smallest, similar to S&W's #1. About 70% nickel remaining. Works perfectly, and will hit a soda can @ 10m with CB caps. (.22 shorts fit, but can blow the cylinders on antique .22s). Unusual feature is an adjustable cylinder pin to tighten or loosen the action.

MOORE 7-SHOOTER : .32 rimfire, G, $400(what I paid). These are great little brass-framed Civi War belt revolvers resembling the later 1873 Colts. Mine has the unusual "feature" of what appears to be an 1849 Colt grip, strap, and trigger guard, The last 2 parts have the s.n. of 179111. Also a 'D' in 3 places and '32' where the caliber marking should say '.31 cal'. (conversion?)The s.n. would place the date 1861. Compared to another Moore-7 I have, this one appears to be earlier with better engraving, and a larger thumb latch, so it was likely made in 1861 as well. Otherwise, the refinished gun looks and works good, with scattered pitting on all steel parts. Replaced poke-out rod under a 6" barrel. Bore is deeply pitted but rifled, and mikes ~.319". Some other Colt parts can also be fitted to this gun...Also have another grip & grip frame which doesn't fit, VG, $150. Ask for dimensions.

PINFIRE double barrel pistol: 15mm, G, $160. Made in Spain, works perfectly. 

PROTOTYPE SA revolver: .45 LC, VG, $650, FFL. SN #1, marked "F.J. PIERCE". Replaced Colt cylinder, 8" barrel, shoots great. Most likely made in the late '40s when Colt had stopped production of its single action, and Ruger hadn't yet started.

RADOM P.35: 9mm, G, $450, FFL. Late 2-lever type with 90% original grey finish. Matching #s(frame # scratched), wood grips polished smooth. WWII holster...Another, this time a 3-lever with arsenal reblue, EX, import marks and repro grips, $350.
 
REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY: .44, G, $650. Good bore, works fine, but with battered cylinder and repro hammer, hand and cylinder pin. Nice grips with cartouche. Not ready.

REMINGTON 1875 copy: .44-40, EX, $400, FFL. Blue finish, 7.5" barrel, custom grips, lanyard ring. Shoots ~3" high and to the left @ 10m. Made by Uberti, ~$500 new. SASS approved.

RUSSIAN M.1895 NAGANT revolver: 7.62x39R, G, $125, FFL. Relic of Czarist Russia; made in 1916. Matte reblue over pitting, fair grips. Works perfectly; holster ...Another, marked CCCP 1929, VG, $225, FFL. Some straw and fire blue remaining. Ask for photos.

SAUER 38H: .32acp, VG, $325, FFL. Late type with grey finish, aluminum trigger, and no hammer safety. Repro grips, mag & holster. Works perfectly.
 
S&W LADYSMITH, 3rd model: .22, F, $160, FFL. Complete, but has no finish, severe pitting, replaced grips, flared barrel cone, poor bore, and timing is off.

S&W topbreak Spanish copy: .32, G, $30, FFL. Or FREE with another purchase over $100. "Smith & Wesson cartridges are those that fit best the Euskaro Revolver" So it says on barrel rib. Works pretty good, and the horn grips are not cracked or ate up by bugs. With this crude revolver, the Iver Johnson collector can prove once and for all that I.J.s are NOT junk.

S&W 1905 Hand Ejector M&P: .38sp, G, $160 FFL. 1st variation 5-screw, sn 68717. 5" nickle. Grip frame has been bent slightly left to hug the body, but h.r. grips fit well... Cylinders on these early S&Ws turn left instead of right. S&W is currently making replicas of these.

STAR MODELO MILITAR 1920: 9mm Largo, FFL.  Sold.  An important piece to have in any auto pistol collection, this model was the first of a long series culminating in the Argentine Ballester Molina. It combined the configuration of the Colt 1911 with the lockwork of the Ruby and used a slide-mounted hammer block safety, originated by Star, then dropped, only to re-appear on other makes. Like the Astra 400, it can shoot several calibers. A scarce gun issued to the feared Guardia Civil(state police) and obsoleted by 1921.  http://www.9mmlargo.com/1920/

The UNCOLTS, all single-action, not for sale. How many can you identify? Hit END key for answers.

British TRANSITION REVOLVER: A c.1850 hybrid incorporating features of the Pepperbox and a wedge-frame Colt. Very well made and working well; could probably be shot, but I haven't tried it. DA bar hammer is offset to allow use of sights; well-rifled bore is about .42cal(60 bore). Lots of floral engraving and light pitting. On top of barrel is the inscription "W.A. BECKWITH, LONDON" and a "TFB" in gothic script on medallion on back of grip. Appears to be made in the style of John Blissett of Liverpool. $800.

Transition revolvers were some of the best products of the British gun makers art, and the Guild system which worked well for small production, but fell into disfavor when interchangeablity of parts became important. The market for these elegant weapons was mainly the British privileged class; most were engraved and it seems that no two were exactly alike... Such is the nature of gun collecting that the once-prized possession of a nobleman is now worth less than many mass-produced weapons, and is affordable to those of much lower social standing.

Second gun is an 1872 Tranter in .32rf Long. These were competitors of Webley, more complex in design. $250(sold).
