Henry Repeating Arms and Uberti Model 1860 Henry is a brass frame rifle. All other Henry Repeating Arms lever guns are steel, some with brass plating.

Thanks for posting Webb. Wonder if they were put on by a distributor, since I don't think MOP shrinks?

Count your 22 cylinder holes again?? Model 1 S&Ws are all 7 shot.

No one makes them as far as I know. Not even sure if there were ever any MOP stocks on original Americans. Ivory was popular. I assume your American is like mine and I love shooting at the range. Puts all those puny plastic pistols to shame!:p This revolver kind of reminds me of Crocodile...

To give you an idea of the various tip-ups, I have a picture of my old collection. Hope that helps you identify your guns . . . so there are lots more tip-up models that you can add to your collection. Top two are 7 shot Model 1, 2nd Issue, 22 Short Rows 2 and 3 are 6 shot Model 2, 32 RF Rows 4...

You are absolutely correct. I thought I saw a dished appearance on the OP's stocks, but they are brass that have lost their plating. Plus, most 1930s K frame stocks had smaller medallions than the 1910s. Comparisons are below. So they could well be original, but look for a serial number on...

From about 1922-23 until the end of production (1940) - 32-20 CTG. was stamped on the right side of barrel. Before that, it was 32 WCF. It is impossible to determine value without good images to study. Standard 32-20 M&Ps sell for anywhere from $300 to $600 today, while target guns sell from...

I have received many letters with S&Ws purchased over the years and ALL of them had a name and address, some from previous owners from years ago. Why deface an important piece of history of the gun? What bad things would the buyer do with your name and address anyway?????? One friend who is...

That is correct. Call Gold Bead in 1931 only for the K22. The McGivern gold bead sight was available to buy in the late 1930s and was easy to replace the silver bead. The McGivern sight was a raised bead and the Call Gold sight was available in either raised or flush. Also, the rear sight...

My Uberti Henry, Model 1866, and Model 1873 are over 25 years old, so no worry about a warranty. The Henry and Model 1866 in 44-40, but the 1873 is 45 Colt. The 1873 is the same action as the Henry, except steel frame. I load 255 RNFP, 8 grains Unique and that runs 1127 fps. Problem is you...

Your revo That revolver is NOT an antique as noted in a previous post. Antique status ended in 1899. It appears that the original serial number location on S&Ws was always on the butt, bottom or front. Factory installed lanyard rings were sometimes installed and drilled through the serial...

Likely shipped to a distributor, but still nice to have a letter. Let me add that my closest is 281785 that shipped in August 1917. The company had very heavy sales in 1917 with WWI brewing in Europe, so records show that the shipping orders went out in some semblance of order until the War...

I agree with Guy that it was likely that the US Navy Aresnal had a store of parts that would not have been stamped or marked and installed without stamping serial numbers. It is also possible that any gunsmith from the 1950s and 1960s could get hold of factory barrels finished as they did for...

Dished gold medallion was produced only in the 1910s. 1930 was the introduction of the silver medallion and, yes most stocks in the 1930s were lighter walnut like mine. Look for a pencil serial number on the inside of the stocks. That one, 659371 shipped in December 1935. You have a nice...

Pull out the knob to open.

Welcome to the Forum. All triggers and hammers were case colored at the factory. Some have faded over the years while others were inappropriately plated or blued by an owner. Your revolver was likely shipped in 1898 or 1899, but since all frames were made and stamped before 1899 all First...

Welcome to the Forum. Your revolver is called a 32 Winchester (32-20) Hand Ejector Model 1905, 3rd Change. Only about 20,000 were made from serial number 45,201 to 65,700. This model revolver was made from 1909 to 1915 and your revolver likely shipped in the middle of this date range...

US Army model 1899, 1000 made and maybe half survive today. Sold for $125! I see that you have to click on view in catalog on the right side of the Proxibid page to see prices.

I find that Single Shots typically sell for $700 plus in any working condition. There is one non-working parts gun that sold for $355 recently on GB. That SS had been refinished at some point and the front sight is not original, but appears clean and not abused. Guess at a minimum value of...
