A blast from the past, british bulldog

[ky wonder]

And there are people complaining about $50. for a box of 9 m/m. It leads me to believe that some people just look for reasons too complain. Larry

a gun without ammo, is a high priced rock:]

Could it be the missing Garfield gun?
I doubt it, but the gun was recorded as a enhanced
British bulldog, with ivory grips, that disappeared from the Smithsonian

Any way this old 44 caught my eye today , with it engraving and ivory grips,

Gun is a pre 1893 Belgium copy, wearing the early liege froof mark, *over n inspector mark, the makers initials JD and the number 12, on frame under grips, and on the cylinder, timing and lock up are not up to smith standards but very suitable
If I could find ammo,
44 bulldog, or 442 British

Anyway this came out of a closet of a gun collector dealer, who passed 10 years ago, his wife passed this winter, and this was found with s couple of old Smith's, which were in paper weight shape, so I passed on the Smith's, and paid 250 for the little 44

Any bulldog collectors on here who might spread a little knowledge
Thanks for looking

PM me, I load and shoot 44 Bull Dog, have you slugged the barrel to be sure of the size?, anyway, these are my H&R 44's

Sold the little gun and box of ammo to a antique gun collector for a goodly sum of money
