It's usually a good idea to put a smiley or some other indication you're joking, otherwise folks might think you're passing on good info.

Hows that for good info?:D
 
Good catch...

Fourth one from the right looks to be the 1887 H&R SHELL EXTRACTING aka "Manual Ejector" model revolver. That one alone, if in antique GOOD or better will bring between $225 and $300 from a collector.

I'm a collector of guns of this era, & I've got a .38 & been trying to buy a 32 for a reasonable price... going through them, one by one may prove that he got a great deal... obviously depending on condition...
 
It looks like there's a good chance that some, if not all, of those handguns are also antiques, pre-1898.

I don't know what the third one from the left is, but I'm certain it's not a Smith & Wesson. There's no thumb latch to release the cylinder.

You're right of course. <slaps forehead> :o

Possibly a Spanish copy with an ejector-rod cylinder release. See my previous post re: value. :rolleyes:
 
Duh, reread this thread and realized I had misread Dogtown Tom's comment

He wrote:

No federal law prohibits....

I read:

No, federal law prohibits...

He and I agree. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
 
You might could part that box out and make some money off of it but your brother doesn't appear to have struck gold in any shape or form. It looks like a bunch of worn out old break tops.

Third from left is an H&R American.
