Gun show treat

[Dusty_Traveler]

It’s not every day you run into 3 original LeMats at a little hole in the wall gun show. 3 digit serial number on the first model!

Let me guess….. $10,000 each?

 

[William Lincoln]

No doubt if sold, they would go out of sight at auction.

I didn’t see any tags on them. I don’t think he was trying to sell them as much as just displaying them. He was a CW collector.

According to him:

That first edition, he was able to track down to CS navy. It was on board CSS Virginia, and the armorers name has been stamped in the side of the barrel. “W Duncan”

I always appreciate the guys that buy a table at a show not just to sell, but also to share their collection. Very cool guns there

As they sit?

As they sit?

These days? Probably so. In better condition I've seen them sell at 40K. Still cheaper than Walkers.

A gun dealer once criticized me for buying reproduction ACW firearms. “Why?” he asked, “when you could have an original?” This is why.

With the holster it’s probably going to go very, very high!

 

[Comfortably_Numb]

I have never seen a holster for one of these before. They have several lemats in the auction. Even some revolving rifles and carbines.
