I've had my share of luck but DANG!!!!!

I gave almost as much for this .36 police. Supposed to be a Pedersoli but I dunno. Havent gotten it yet.

There's another good deal I've bid on - unfired 1974 vintage Armi San Paolo/Euroarms-Brescia 1851 Sheriffs model in .36 with half fluted cylinder and lanyard ring. From the pictures, the frame is a nice plum color.

Sometimes you have to look under the generic areas such as B/p pistol. About 4 yrs ago I picked up a ROA for a steal, because it didn't say Ruger anywhere and the pic's were fuzzy, but I could make out the bird on the grip and bid, I ended up with a practically unfired SS ROA, they also didn't mention it was stainless and the pic's were so bad that you couldn't tell. You got a great deal on an engraved gun.
 
I got to spend more time in the black powder section on GB. Ken's cornered the market on Hickok Navies. Hawg, we need a full report on the Pedersoli!!! Looks sweet.
 
I'm going to ask more than I thought for mine,,,

I just got back into shooting last year,,,
I took a 7 year hiatus from everything fun,,,
I decided to go to university and snag a few degrees.

I can't believe the prices that cap & ball revolvers are going for these days,,,
That is until I picked up a Cabela's Catalog and hit a few other websites.

I have two Pietta 1858 Remingtons in .44 caliber,,,
I purchased them from Cabela's back in 1997 for $99.95 each,,,
I was told last week that I can get $150.00 apiece and I laughed out loud.

I went to Cabela's and they are retailing for $269.00

I also have the 1858 Revolving rifle that I paid $199.00 for,,,
Cabela's is now retailing those for a whopping $489.00.

I think I'll clean these puppies up and see what I can get for the lot,,,
I don't want to hassle with black powder anymore,,,
Lotsa fun but way too much trouble.

I'll probably give someone a good deal on a package,,,
I have a few spare cylinders and accessories.

They will come with two absolutely beautiful hand made holsters,,,
As well as a belt for a slender person, pouch, and flask holder.

I'll post an ad in the proper section of the forum,,,
As soon as I take new pics of everything.

Hey Fingers...I hope you don't mind but I borrowed your new 1851 last night when you weren't guarding the roost. I took this picture of it. I like it soooo much I hope you don't mind if I put a few rounds through it now....hehehehehe.

Actually, that's the pain in the arse one I bought last year. Yeah, the one with "the issues". Hope you have better luck with yours. I think I've got the issues worked out now but then again.......:mad: At least it looks purdy!
 
Thanks guys. Wasn't trying to steal Finger's thunder tho.

MCB I'm not positive it is a Pedersoli. He thinks it is and says it has DAP stamped on it so I am hoping. But there's still a few questions about it that will hopefully be answered tomorrow. Or maybe will just have more questions.
 
Geeeeze . . . . I hope you guys feel guilty over the good deals you got . . . well . . . maybe for about 2 seconds at least! :D Congrats on your "finds"! They're nice looking shootin' irons! :)
 
Feel free to shoot it Clembert. I hate breaking in a new pistol anyhow :D

Not even 2 seconds BBB :D:D

Well, you got a couple over on me MCB. Just repaying the favor. :D:D:D
