Since we don't have a Percussion section, I figured you Black Powder

guys are the closest link to Percussion.

 

I wanted to know if anyone here is (or knows of) a collector of Percussion Pistols?

The reason I ask is I have a somewhat rare 1976 (Bi-Centennial) High Standard

1851 Navy revolver (un-fired and in the original box) that I'm possibly looking to move.

The reason I say it's rare, is that it's Nickle & Blue which was a very limited production

and you never see them for sale, especially un-fired.

 

I know I can go GB.com, ect. but I thought I'd see if anyone on the forum was into this sort

of thing and would like a chance to own a very nice pistol........??????

 

 

Nice piece Jack, makes me curse myself for being such an abusive bastard

Nice!

 

i have a real on in my collection.......................

That's sweet

1863 (civil war) production date Colt 1851 Navy

All original, all numbers matching except the wedge & two frame screws

that were replace a long time ago.

Not museum quality, but it functions perfectly - I'm proud to own it!

I saw that up on Facebook.....the thing is gorgeous....

 

my problem is I would want to shoot it!

Too bad it's "booked-in" already in NJ.  Some collectors/shooters I know only buy in PA.......

 

Really nice lookin' .36 ya got got there Jack!  Never heard of High Standard makin' 'em before this thread!

They made them back in the 70's

They did a confederate version, A Bi-Centennial, and some others but they aren't

all that common to find.....
