A 1858 Remington clone revolver. Doug has what can be best described as a Brown Bess Indian Trade musket. We have had a ball shooting it. A HUGE flinter, 75 cal.

I have some friends who are truly into that stuff but they would skin you alive trying to trade with them. Too savvy for me. One likes anything antique and another is really into original Sharps etc. (Steve Gent & Richard Hall for Doug's sake) Steve is likely the one of the world's best replicators, I'm not exaggerating. He made (along with too many other things to list) a civil war Bowie from a Snapper Lawn mower blade with proper worn markings and artfully aged etc. I heard of a top collector that was humbled and still does not know it, will never acknowledge. Seems he didn't ask the right questions, just paid big. Who can prove it anyway? I've seen his built stuff on magazine covers.
