Old pistols and a few questions

[T4halo1]

I probably paid too much for them but thought they were cool. Any info would be great. They appear to function properly and both have good bores.

Thanks

Them look like originals! I’m to excited to type!

The E Whitney appears to be the real deal. I’m pretty excited. Still havent figured what the other pistol is. It has a larger bore than the 36 Whitney.

Nice find. Congratulations.

Please keep us informed, those are really nice preserved pistols.

The other one looks like a 58 Remington

 

[T4halo1]

I think youre correct.

 

[Gtrubicon]

Did you get them from the same source? You have to tell the story!

Nice looking pistols

 

[Gtrubicon]

I have dreams of this kinda stuff!

That Whitney is cool. I don't know if you've field stripped it yet - but look for identifying marks/numbers on the bottom flat of the barrel under the rammer. The serial number should be under each of the wooden grip panels as well.

They were in a gun safe in an old barn. Came with a Marlin 1897 .22 and a repop Springfield 58 musket. It was a great gun day.

I can never find barns like that!

That Whitney is a nice find!

Wow! I doubt if you paid too much - those revolvers are really nice and worth a bunch. If you tell us the serial number of the Remington we can probably tell what month and year it was made.

The "other Pistol " is a Remington New Model Army. It is a revolver not a pistol in .44 calibre.

^^^^ I dont care about the ATF definition. A revolver can be a pistol. Ha!

That 1863 might not be a repop. Be careful looking, you might have another exceptional find.
