    Cheers Rod, I am very lucky to have acquired my example, but yours, with its local history is rather interesting, do you know who owned it?

    Sadly, no idea who may have owned it. It was found under the wooden porch of a local, long-abandoned stone miners hut. There were thousands of miners here during the rush, most living in tents, and it was only the more successful who stayed and built stone huts. Its reasonable state of preservation is due to our very dry climate in this part of NZicon. Many of the miners came from California, which was probably the source of my .44 Remington 'old army' model 1861 that was also found locally.
