Fast Enuff Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Oh my. I highly recommend that everyone go click on Yusta's link right now and watch the video you will be glad you saw these before they disappear again for decades. Those are truly unbelievable mechanical wonders from the early 1800s. And they are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Dick, SASS #12880 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I had one and sold it cheap since the gold frizzen wouldn't throw a spark. What's the point of having a gun you can't shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Brady #24830Life Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Here is the sale result: The pair was estimated to sell in the range of $2,580,950 – $5,161,900, and hammered at $5,866,499, including buyer’s premium — at the top end of the estimate. The consignors had to be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
