Lyman had Perc. Revs. years ago I think they were Ubertis.
The High Standards were neat also. They were about the
same time. The High Standards were made by Uberti, in a
North & South versions Colts, Leech&Rigdon Etc.
I think this goes back about 30 yrs. but my memory is not
that good. I saw a High Standard on Gun Brokers today
it was a L&R.

Charlie,sorry I got off your question. The Lymans were
Mdls..44 New Army and .36 New Mdl. Navy. The price
in 1973 was $96.95 .44 $94.95 .36.-Colt Army $89.95.
Others were Jana,Potomic,Centennial,Replica,Mars Equipt.
Hawes,The Armory, Navy Arms,Century, F.I.E.,CVA,Valor
Gold Rush,American Import,High Standard. And the list
goes on. These were some of the names on Perc.Revs.
imported over the years.
Some of these were real nice some were junk. The FIE
stuff was bad. Lymans were very nice, and of course
the Navy arms were outstanding. As were the H\S.

Thanks for the info! I had saw one on action Arms and was thinking about biding on it. But yesterday while checking my bank statement on the net. I found I had just been billed for a Walker I ordered months ago and had given up on ever getting! When I ordered it the guy at S&S said it would be about two weeks it has been many months! So my gun buying funds are used up for the time being.
