Photos of Belgian Centaure

Folks,

Here are the photos of the 1860 Army (.44) which I just got back from Wayne. I am pretty thrilled with the results.

He did three pages worth of work to the pistol. Now it locks up tight and looks great.

Very nice.
That would look good sitting next to my dragoon and 51 navy.

That is a nice gun. I handled one in Maine a few years ago and passed on buying it because I didn't know what it was. That won't happen again.

That is a very nice looking piece!

Best,
Oly

1205 revolvers later mine was born. Wayne did his normal magic on yours, looks great. I think mine has had a easier life, a over size bolt had peened the cylinder pretty bad, so I think it didn't get shot very much.

MCB,

1. These pistol from Belgium sure are nice.
2. Wayne knows his stuff.

Tnx,

Barry

Damn SG, I think you should change your name from smokin' gun to Twofers. You got two of damn near every revolver made.

and you have been a bad influence on me (according to my wife)

Smokin_Gun · March 22, 2009, 04:07 PM

Well ifin I am a bad influence it wasn't on purpose ... and I apologize to your wife.
BUT, I applaud you for your endevour to persevere with as many of these dang Revs as you can get. :O)
