I just bought a beautiful Navy Arms SAA in 44-40. I was wondering if I am right in assuming it is a Uberti. The only marks other than Navy Arms on the barrel along with the caliber, are the usual Italian proof house stamps, the letters PSF, the serial number and a "cat.1515" which I assume is...

I acquired another Paterson a short while ago. It is in a cased set (french fitted) and pretty nice if I do say so myself. I never took it out of the case until last night. The seller called it a 2nd generation Paterson but I don't think they ever made one so I assumed it was a Uberti. I...

I noticed a gun on GB where the seller claims he special ordered it two years ago and just got it. I was curious if anyone here had ever special ordered a BP revolver and how you went about it. I see in the current Pietta catalog a few pieces that I have never seen offered by resellers such as...

I picked this little critter up last week for $80. It is a sixgun and appears to have been fired very little if at all and the action seems perfect. It is stamped "Hopkins & Allen Mfg." on the right hand side of the barrel and "black powder only made in Italy "on the left. It has a date code...

I picked up a Euroarms 1858 recently and it looks almost new. Appears never fired. Whilst I was fooling around with it I noticed the hammer would not engage the safety notch between caps. I removed the cylinder and slipped onto the cocked hammer and it fits fine. It appears that the lower...

I have two older 36 caliber 1851s w/steel frame one has been "defarbed" and has no markings on frame or barrel and no serial number. The other is a Euroarms with .36 caliber on the barrel. I see no maker's marks or at least no Uberti mark. Doc Hoy said the Euroarms is probably ASM. My...

Found a LNIB Pietta L&R so now I have the Pietta, a Uberti, and a High Standard. Does anyone know if Navy, ASM, Replica Arms or any other outfit ever sold an L&R?

I have a couple of American Heritage Commemorative sets and have been searching around, unsuccessfully, for information on actually who manufactured the revolvers in this line. I believe Pedersoli made the gold plated Paterson because his tag is on the gun. None of the others have any markings...

For what it is worth, I just got off the phone with some supervisor at UPS regarding shipping a black powder replica revolver from private residence to private residence. He said emphatically that UPS forbids such shipments. He said they have arrangements with companies such as Bass Pro etc...

I am looking to aquire one of these but I really do not know how to distinguish a S&G replica from any other brass framed 1851 Navy look alike like a G&G for instance. Is there something unique that makes it identifyable? Jim :confused::confused:

I just received my latest Paterson acquistion. I know a lot of you guys are either ambivalent about, or do not care for, Patersons, but not I. They are my favorite gun by a long shot. I found this jewel on a bulletin board website a couple of weeks ago and after a little back and forth we...

From some of this weekend's auction results it appears the price of reproductions is getting up there. At RIA an "Italian Copy" of an 1860 Colt Army with a "factory letter" sold for $881.00. The letter was from Colt and was for an original 1860 with the same serial number as the copy. Is that...

For those of you interested, the July 2, 2012 Pawn Stars is supposed to have a guy bring a Paterson into the shop. This is the URL with the info. <http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/pawn-stars-hot-and-colt/EP011594940196> :D:D:D

Does anyone have the Model number(s) for the Colt 3rd Generation Paterson? I want the plain jane version not any gold plated engraved sets. A while ago I found something somewhere, either online or in a book, that gave me the numbers for both the one with the LL and the one without. Now I...

I just got my new Uberti Whitneyville Dragoon from Buffalo Arms. Love it! It completes my Dragoon collection for now. I have a question though regarding identifying the Whitneyville as opposed to the Walker or the 1st Dragoon. I know the Walker is bigger and I know the grips on the...

Whilst browsing the online gun auctions the other day I noticed how many sellers there are that seem to have an endless inventory. One guy whom I have bought from just seems to come up with guns to wet my whistle. I know there are some companies that take consignments to auction off but are...

I picked up an old (1963) Replica Arms 1849 pocket last week that came with a missing nipple and a broken wrench. I have looked around the internet and all of the sources I found say it should be a 5.5mm x.9 thread but when I checked and measured one of the others I come up with 12 - 24 thread...

Does anyone know how many of these pistols were actually made or sold? I have only ever seen one for sale on the internet and he was asking $1,600.00 and he sold it. I go to gun shows several times a year and have never seen one there.

I bought a replica Paterson revolver a while back and was trying to get a handle on what it might be worth. It says Replica Arms Marietta, OH just forward of the cylinder and the entire gun is engraved including the grips. I do think it has ever been fired because of the dried caked grease...

I am brand new to black powder shooting and recently purchased a Pedersoli Kentucky pistol. My question is simple (I hope). How do I remove the barrel for cleaning? The book that came with the gun rambles on about wedges or with and without breech plugs and black powder rifles, but has...
