Manhattan Pocket Model .31 Cal Percussion Revolver ANTIQUE Series II Civil War Pistol Engraved 1859

 Civil War Era Manhattan Series II Pocket Model Percussion Revolver, .31 cal, mfg. 1859-1862 with 5" barrel. This is a 100% original example of one of Colt's biggest rivals to the pocket revolver market, and one that was very popular among Union soldiers during the Civil War as a back up arm. Frame and backstrap are hand engraved, which though standard was very unusual for a mid size pocket revolver at the time. Stagecoach cylinder scene is very intact and clear. Overall the metal retains a pleasingly untouched plum/gray patina. Original burl Walnut grips are highly figured and of better grade than standard. They retain approximately 30% original varnish and fit perfect with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Original hammer, trigger, wedge, loading lever, and front sight. Patent marking and barrel address are clear. The action is smooth and functions very well. If cocked slowly the cylinder occasionally needs just a little help to click into place, but overall it's a good functioning action. Nipples are all clean originals. The bore has strong, sharp rifling front to back with just a little blackpowder frosting near the breech. Overall a very respectable example of the most popular non-Colt pocket revolvers of the Civil War era. available on Gunbroker still /////sold for$$

Bernardon-Martin 1907 French Auto Pistol .32 7.65

 I bought this as a project but unexpected financial matters are requiring that I sell it. Bernardon-Martin M1907 Semi-Auto Pistol, 1908(est) St-Etienne Production, Thai(Siamese) Service, .32 acp, S/N: 1019 One of the rarest production pistols on gunbroker, the Bernardon-Martin 1907 was the very first domestically-produced semi-auto pistol on the French commercial market. With details on the pistol scarce, and what little information available often conflicting, the history and production totals are virtually unknown, but estimates place the number of units made at less than 2,000. Presumably seeing no official military use in Europe, this example is made more scarce by the presence of Siamese property markings on the grip and backstrap. It is thought that the pistol was given to the Kingdom of Siam as part of a military aid package, or it may have made it's way via French Indochina. In any case, this Mannlicher-inspired weapon is a highly desirable collectible that would be at home in an advanced collection or museum. Condition: Is fair with the pistol retaining 25-30% of the original bluing. Markings have faded slightly, but are still legible. Metal surfaces are generally rough, with no active rust and no deep pitting. Mechanical function is a mixed bag-the pistol appears to be missing it's striker, but looks to be otherwise functional. Also missing is the magazine, but amazingly, reproductions are available via Triple K. Original hard rubber grips show damage and wear with the top portion of the left grip missing. A worthy gunsmith project, this historically important pistol would be the pride of many collections. Sold for $400 in 2016

WWII British Enfield No 2 MK I Tanker Revolver in .38 Caliber

Here is a nice example of a WWII Enfield Revolver made for both tank crew operators and pilots due to the bobbed hammer. This on is in good to very good condition and has a 5" barrel with a bright shiny bore. The action is smooth and the lockup is tight and this shows the typical wear to the British paint finish and every thing seems to be original with matching serials. Test fired and it shoots like a dream! Sold for approx. $300 in 2016
