Some photos from my collection.

As the format of this forum has changed and adding photos seems more easy
here goes my first attempt at joining.

I collect "original" U.S. Civil War and Indian War arms and militaria,...as well as other stuff.

I do not shoot these guns.....I just try and preserve them for the next owner.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Very nice. What serial range is your 1860 Army in?

Looks like a very nice Army Colt. Mine is serial 113997 also shipped in 63.

**lboos** · 03-26-2009 03:39 PM

Old Glory, My 44 Army Colt's serial number 113646 very close to your's but not nearly as nice as David's. But i like ole beat up gun's. Mainley because there the only one's i can afford.

......lboos.

**69 Stang** · 03-26-2009 06:30 PM

Iboos yours is close to mine. Mine is very nice too. I have a factory letter from colt on mine. It was shipped in a shipment of 500 to Governors Island New York in April of 1863. Yours was probally in this same shipment. Keith

**lboos** · 03-26-2009 07:30 PM

Keith, That is interesting. I wonder where they went from there? I do know that 1860 army # 113596 went to CO F 2nd PA VOL. CAV. which is 50 off from mine. I don't have a letter from colt on mine. It would probley be the same as your's.

**69 Stang** · 03-26-2009 10:33 PM

Yes I have heard that some others in this serial range went to the PA. Calvary also. I use to have one of all colt cap and ball revolvers except the Patterson and Walker but stupid me sold them to buy a reproduction full scale 1841 6 pound cannon to use in re enacting. My dragoon was a very nice 1st model. I been regretting selling those colts for a long time now.

Keith!...Say it ain't true! A 1st model dragoon
