All About Pocket Knives

I would like to see some guns and the related items, such as old bullets, belts, gun powder cans, reloading equipment, etc. etc.

Here is an old powder can from Dupont

nothing real old, but a couple of things I like:

Old ammo crates, where I keep my - uh, well - ammo! Brand new .58 caliber, 525 grain, Minie bullets. I cast them last weekend to use in my replica 1853 Enfield.
Note the hollow base. When fired, the base expands to fit the rifling in the barrel.

Here ya go, a bit of everything.

Nice old black powder can Dimitri...a couple of powder horns from the old day's.

Owd Wullie >>>> Nice!

Great stuff, guys!

Nice stuff shown so far!

Here are a couple more items, an old nickle plated .38 cal breaktop Smith & Wesson and some old dug civil war era Grape & Canister shot.

More stuff..........

Great Stuff D!

Now I get to spend a few days taking pictures of crap I haven't seen in 10 years until last night!! I dug some old junk out of the archives in the attic last night.

Too cloudy and rainy today for good pics. I'll post 'em as I get 'em. Stay tuned. LOL

Very nice MB...love the pearl grips on the S&W...

Raining in Texas...you sure about that Willie...

Thanks Bob

Can`t wait to see what you drag out Willie

Here are a few more items...............

Heres an oldie for ya a 1922 Colt Police Positive in a 32-20 this is probably the best shooter I own BUT what a time getting cartridges for this baby It's a double action.

Nice!

Traded for this little S&W model 1 1/2 a few weeks ago. It is a single action with a spur trigger, top break revolver in .32 S&W cal. Has a 3" bbl and is very solid mechanically. The shape of the handle gives it the name "Birds Head grip". The nickle finish is about gone and both grips have a small piece missing at the bottom edge, like somebody dropped it on something hard. Limited research tells us that model was last manufactured in 1892, so the little revolver is at least 119 years old. Notice the patent dates on the top side. Treefarmer

"like somebody dropped it on something hard"...

or thumped someone up side the head?

Nice old S&W Treefarmer



Here is another one, PPKS

Very nice little Walther, D.

Here's a couple with leather. My sweet 1903, Colt 32 Auto, Pocket pistol.
And a Smith model 19, K frame, 357.

Here's an old S&W No3 DA in 44 Russian that I sold a few years back. Somebody bobbed it a long time ago.
It was fun to shoot.


Still diggin through crap to take pics of this weekend.

Found a few interesting tidbits.

Joe,

That Colt is a beauty!



Nice little Smith Willie

Here's a teaser for ya D.

Looks like a die grinder buur.

Think gun stuff..

Here's the whole bunch.






Figured 'em out yet?

Dimitri, I had a PPK just like that in .380, very nice gun, wish I still had it

Old Enfield take down tool.


Unknown wrench/oil bottle

45-70 stuff. the ones with the smaller bullets are 45-70-405 loads. The Cavalry used them in the carbines as the recoil was less. The two on the right are 45-70-500. The last number denotes the weight of the bullet. Those were used in the rifles by the infantry.


Headstamps. The zinc washed one was made in April of 1897. Primers are dead in all of 'em.


Stuff from the 30's. ( except for the plastic hulled 12ga stuff)

Inside primed 45-70 empty I found on the prairie up in Wyoming. Looks a like a rimfire at first glance. Grooves in the side held the internal primer in place


Firing pin strike. I figure it was fired from a trap door. As it is a 45-70, it probably dates from the early 1880's.
