not sure what make/model/year. But I do know it's an old cap and ball pistol. Shoots a round ball with blackpowder as the propellant, percussion caps as your primer.

I like to state the obvious

Kind of looks like an 1849 wells fargo.. but I'm not sure about the folding barrel part.

any markings ? - definitely not a colt - look at front face of cylinder , i can't figure out the round holes at outer edge -

Pure speculation on my part, but since the barrel on this isn't long enough to have an underbarrel ramrod/seating lever, there must have been some type of separate tool/lever to do this. Maybe those circular indentations were used to locate one leg of the lever when seating the ball(?)

 

Adios,

never saw any loading tool that used holes drilled in cyl. on any black powder pistol - most used a lever on the base pin w/cylinder removed - look at the casting flaw where lower barrel boss meets with the frame , could this be a replica of some kind ? -

I think sherriff models used the cylinder pin to force rounds in chambers while cylinder was removed from gun

no markings on it anywhere.... metal is definitely oxidized.... the round holes at the outer edge might be decorative?

 

im just curious to know what year and model it is.... im a newbie when it comes to this stuff

try putting a magnet on it + see if it sticks - might be a zinc replica -

+1, especially with the casting marks still visible on the trigger guard.

i would be very suprised if this is a real gun, my vote is it's a replica. what is with the screw (which doesn't look real anyways) right in the side of the barrel.

[JaredC 6]

i know its a replica... just dont know of what....thats what im trying to figure out...

[Guest]
