RM in 3/4 scale

Paplinker, the value mainly has to do with the maker,the uniqueness of the model and the scale to some extent. Wayne Driskill who is head of the miniature arms society, believes that Raymond Hutchens was the best scale model miniaturist who ever lived. A lot of makers make Single Action Army's and Kentucky Rifles but very few take on the difficulty of making a revolver as difficult as a Regigtered Magnum with it's finely checkered top strap and rounded pinned parts,difficult stamped numbers, and finely fitted sideplate, and adjustable target sights. I value these guns at what a full size revolver would cost in similar condition.

Thanks Bill, Did Wayne mark his work?
 
Paplinker, you mean Ray Hutchens the maker. I'm not sure if he marked the guns themselves. I've never taken the grips off to see ( I'm a little scared to) these guns are all pictured in the book ,Scale Model Firearms. The case for the 1/2 scale RM has a stamp on the bottom of a vice with the word "Hutch".

John,the caliber would be 3/4 of .38 caliber.I can't tell if there is powder in the case but I treat them like they are live rounds.

Amazing work!! With the amount of effort put into that scale model I'd be willing to bet that ammo would go off. The cartridge bases look very much like .25. Small primers.
