Doc,
went by that little shop this afternoon. They still had the brass Sheriff's .44 1851 clone. I walked in and asked a young guy if they had any BP revolvers?
A voice from the backroom said that only had one left, and reminded the employee that the other one was already spoken for.
For just a brief second I tried to think up some kind of scam where I could get your pistol away from him. But alas, I just laughed and said I knew they had already set it aside for a gentleman from St. Leo and that's why I was in the shop. Was a funny moment though-Can't trust anybody these days.
It seemed heavy to me, it is an older brass and the nipples are very short.
I didn't get it, even though I thought the asking price of $60 was fair.
If it was steel, I'd have it in my grimmy little hands this very second. Although I have a few brassers, and I'm not against them, I mainly give them away for presents-they make awesome gifts.
Like I said, the nipples were very short, is this common for these old replicas? I'm pretty new to this stuff.
BTW, was I right that this is a fair price for that revolver?
Thanks again for the fun, OJW
