I'm going with the .44-40 guess someone made earlier.
WOW!! are those the original grips, Looks like Ivory.Here is a really cool one I found a while back and it's still loaded
I'm pretty sure it's ivory grips and they are flawlessWOW!! are those the original grips, Looks like Ivory.
That's pretty freaking cool!!!That's a sweet find with the revolver!
A friend of mine got into metal detecting and found this on a random plot of Saskatchewan farmland. He sent me this picture. That's interesting to me, because we don't have anywhere near as long a history (at least a colonized industrialized European history) as most anywhere in the United States or eastern Canada. I'd be curious to know when the heck this is from and how it ended up in a wheat field. Maybe just used for hunting? I certainly don't know anyone who owns a rifle chambered in 57 snider these days….

It was never remotely comparable to the degree and extent of violence that happened south of the border in the USA but as I've taken more history classes over the years I've been learning that we did indeed have our share of "frontier violence" up here in Canada during our own westward expansion and settlement.That's pretty freaking cool!!!
I have a pretty good pile of cavalry and civil war stuff now.
Several places here that were way stations or outposts that were wiped out in the 1800's during the wars against the tribes
Very true.It was never remotely comparable to the degree and extent of violence that happened south of the border in the USA but as I've taken more history classes over the years I've been learning that we did indeed have our share of "frontier violence" up here in Canada during our own westward expansion and settlement.
Our nations are all at once so different and yet so very similar in many regards of their history.
