1851 Navy: Help push me over the edge..... - Page 2

Jbar4Ranch · January 13, 2010, 12:31 PM

I've got PLENTY of other C&B revolvers, but these three High Standard Griswold & Gunnisons are my only 1851 patterns. Oddly enough, all three are just a tad different - the top one has its ram screw threaded in from the opposite side of the other two, and the ram on the middle one is color case hardened, go figure.

Nice brace of pistols there JBar.

Jbar4Ranch · January 13, 2010, 11:36 PM

Thanks, but I've got aways to go to catch you still! I thought a brace = 2...?

Fingers McGee · January 13, 2010, 11:43 PM

OK, you got me

it's a brace & a half. I couldnt think of what to call 3 of em.

G&Gs are on my "need to get list", as are Leech & Rigdons and Spiller & Burrs. Don't have any of them - yet

I don't mean to jack your thread, but where is the best place for me to sell an 1851 Navy on this site?

NRALIFER · January 14, 2010, 09:11 PM

Almost! I am waiting for a steel frame 1851 .36 caliber to go on sale for under $200.

It's nice to see someone else with some High Standards here. Two unusual variations, I have not seen them before. The CCH loading lever is strange, never seen that on any of the models. The counterbore on the wrong side is maybe a screw up? These parts were supplied by Uberti. I have three of the four models. Did you get the cased sets?

I did, didn't I? It's on the list now. Especially the carbine version

Jbar - Does RPRCA - Jim Davis - know about the three S&G variations you have?

Jbar4Ranch · January 16, 2010, 09:40 AM

All three of those were purchased used, so it's certainly possible the color case hardened lever came off another 1851 pattern sometime in the past.
