Wow. I love the "sixgun", the 1873. Amazing to think this model was first available in 1873 when many might still have used a muzzle loader handgun.

I would love one of these one day. Who wouldn't? And who hasn't played with one as a toy as a kid. I have one or two cap gun, full steel, black, with white ivory (plastic) grips. No idea where they are? Hope they are not lost, or given away by my mother to my nephew like lots of old toy cars were. A lot of these would have been valuable now adays.

So I need to get a real shooting one now, to replace.

Well done on the purchaes and no doubt purchaes to come!
