    Colt Paterson, Third Generation?

    Another engraved Colt Paterson at $2,000.00 with 2 days left to go. This is the fourth one I've seen within the last year up over the 2 grand mark. The seller doesn't think it is a Third Generation Signature Series Colt but how can it not be? Any ideas?

    How did they carry their ammunition?

    I have this reproduction paper cartridge box from1862 and I was thinking how would they carry this back in the 1850's and 60's for reloads. I tried to put it in my pocket of my jeans and It was pretty bulky and uncomfortable. There is also a member here who has a journal written by his ancestor...

    Replacement front sight

    Does anyone know if someone is producing the old cone German silver front sight for the Uberti Remington? A new front blade sight was added to the army version, the navy version kept the older German silver cone front sight. From here, http://civilwarhandgun.com/remington.htm
