Fantastic looking falling block rifle (a Gibbs-Farquharson perhaps?), and lots of love for the British Bulldog revolver!
 
Thanks fellows, it's a Westley Richards Improved Martini Express rifle. It was originally a 577/500 No2 BPE(50/135). It was oddly restored by a British gunmaker and deactivated when I got it. I undid the deactivation and had to make an extractor for it. It's now a 50/70.

Grandpa’s H&R .22, his razor, the watch my mother gave him in the 1930’s.

I love that photo! Those are such great sentimental keepsakes. I'm being a copy cat, these items were my Grandfather's constant companions. The wear on the M&P model 1905 according to my dad is from riding on the floorboard of his Ford Model A, I remember the gun, pocket watch and Barlow knife very well even though he passed away when I was 10.

I posted this before in the black powder forum, but here's a little layout I did with my US Historical Society commemorative cased set of solid silver mounted bronze barreled flintlocks copied after a set presented to George Washington during the Revolutionary war. These were originally released during our US Bicentennial in 1976. They were copied from the originals in the West Point Museum. I picked these up at auction last year for about half of what they sold for 44 years ago--proving what poor investments most commemoratives are. Anyway, I added a bunch of period type reproductions I've gathered over the years.

An old photo, but one of my favorites. 1847 Walker replica.
