i went to the gunshow today looking for a 1851/1860 44cal pistol to go with my 36 cal armi san paolo/euroarms and missed out on 3 guns! one guy had an exact copy of my gun. proof marks,caliber and all i thought ill go down these 2 isles and come back and buy it! .............AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH you know what comes next! i went back like 30-45 mins later and that gun was GONE. i thought no one would want some ol black powder brass gun!! i got plenty of time! this happend on 2 other guns today to me! there were not a lot of BP dealers at the show and only a few guns. the new in the box piettas, traditions, and ubertis all sat there. everyone there wants ar15's and uzi's!!!!! the guy that had my gun's "brother" said thats how it goes... see it happen all the time. NEVER WAIT AT THE GUN SHOW! you see somthing you like --get it! so if anyone has or can find me a brass 36 cal "hawes CA" 1851 pistol let me know!!! i didnt think i would want a pair of these but its grown on me. the proof mark under the loading lever says GDG. THANKS shoebox1.1@sbcglobal.net
