EMF is a classic company that has introduced several "odd" revolver combinations. This is the weirdest of all. It appears to be on an unaltered 1851 Navy frame with the cylinder arbor acting as the screw that holds the cylinder on ther frame. The barrel pins on the front of the frame have not even been removed. This is just weird and has no historical value.

EMF is one of the companies that imported the 1851 3rd Model Dragoon with an 18" barrel. It came with a shoulder stock with steel hardware and a holster. The shoulder stocks alone now are selling for more than $600. These were made by Armi San Marco. RPRCA has three of these in its collection and is going to sell one.

Another special edition type revolver by EMF was an 1851 Navy in .44cal. with a 12", 7 1/2", and 5" barrels each serial numbered to the same frame. Each barrel was also fitted with it's own loading lever assembly. Extremely rare.

***Went to EMF and this pepper box is an 1851 Navy that comes with the extra pepper box cylinder. That puts it into a different catagory, another "weird" EMF creation. I may just have to get one of these.***
