F1260.   nice example of the rare Confederate Richmond Sharps carbine in good condition, this style carbine was originally manufactured by S.C. Robinson until selling his factory to the Confederate government in March of 1863, it is based on the Hartford made Federal Sharps, the metal is mostly smooth with only some slight surface pitting, it has an even dark brown patina, the walnut stock is also in good condition with expected small bumps and bruises from a cavalry used weapon, the lock plate is serial number 5419 and the tang is serial number 1994, this is not unusual on these as many went back through the arsenal for repairs, the hammer screw and the breech pin look to be replacements, has a block v rear sight, the sling swivel is MIA, the bore has some rifling but needs cleaning, the action is tight and functions well, overall a nice Confederate Sharps, Southern made and used, aand no doubt saw much service

F1244.    Colt Model 1849 Pocket revolver in relic condition, I don't know any meaningful background on it, looks like a barn find that was being worked on, most od the screws are MIA as are the loading lever, back strap, and hammer, and trigger, the three visible serial numbers all match and denote an 1864 production date, the metal is in good shape with a medium brown patina and slight surface rust, cool find

F1235.    early British pistol converted from flintlock to percussion, 7.8" round, .70 caliber barrel, the metal is in great shape, smooth with a medium gray / brown patina, the wood is also in great shape, the barrel and stock are both stamped 83, the brass furniture really sets it off, the action is tight and works well, only draw back is the ram rod is MIA

F1218. way cool pinfire revolver in very good condition, it is a six shot, 7mm pistol with a 3.25" octagon barrel, the metal is in great condition and retains nearly 100% of it's original bright finish, it has a Liege proof mark letting us know it was Belgium made, the action works perfectly in single or double action, it still has the ejector rod and loading gate, these are often missing, folding trigger, as nice as it is, what really sets it off are the gutta percha grips decorated with a leafed vine at top, and what looks like a winged wolf at the bottom, cool revolver that will be an interesting addition to any collection
