    Original Henry Deringer

    It's a CVA. They are .45 caliber and take a .440 round ball with patch. Use a light powder charge.

    .31 caliber revolvers

    I think original Colt designations were that dragoons were horse pistols meant to ride in holsters on the saddle, 1851 and 1860 models were belt pistols, and the small frames were pocket pistols regardless of barrel length. Men's over coats had some deep pockets.

    Help identifying this old barrel

    Agree with Rich. Look at the corrosion on the muzzle. That took some time.

    Published many books on all things British firearms. Only know him from the view of a reader, but he will be missed.

    New Member looking for history on a family heirloom

    Just did the Google thing and there is a reprint of a diary of a man by that name and town. Described as a farmer and abolitionist that moved from Pennsylvania to Ottawa in 1830s. Might be worth a look see.

    New Member looking for history on a family heirloom

    Can't help on the maker but it looks to be a late percussion gun. Turned muzzle indicates a matching bullet starter. What's the bore size? Please put some oil on all the metal parts that are rusting. May be a candidate for some wood restoration depending on the condition of the rest of the gun.

    Need Help Determining Musket Based on Cock

    I have a bunch of similar artifacts and the prevailing knowledge was to dip them in hot wax to prevent oxidation. Yours seems to be the exception as it looks good.🤔

    Have you done anything to preserve this artifact? Often they deteriorate quickly once exposed. Neat find!

    Source for spear and lance blades?

    Museum of the fur trade in Chadron Nebraska commissioned a replica Sorby dag about 25 years ago. It was not made in large numbers and when they come up for sale they are pricey.
