When did you last see one of these

That is a gem in my opinion. For once, the GB seller accurately describes the gun in detail,which is somewhat of a rarity on GB, and with no reserve that one is very enticing for any S&B collectors.

I am not, but if I was I would jump on it. It is an early repro of a S&B with great sights. Too bad it is a brasser (I know S&B pistols were all brassers) but with that early of a repro pedigree I hope it has not been shot with big BP charges, even though it is a solid top revolver. I don't collect them but if I had the money I would be very tempted.

Sights aside, this looks nothing like a real Spiller & Burr.

And here I though Pietta did a lousy job with their repro...

I view it like riding a Harley ....
It is not about the destination
It is all about the journey
Slap on the leather and enjoy the ride.........

There is one author who is always sending me info on auctions that have Whitworths or other target rifles. Way above my budget.

The item has all matching s/n. Barrel, frame, cylinder, lever, hammer and trigger have a dark mottled patina finish. Walnut grips are very good with a smooth even finish with traces of varnish.

Colt .36 caliber pocket navy percussion revolver offered in standard configuration with 4 ½ inch octagon barrel, 5-shot rebated round cylinder, one-piece varnished walnut grips and brass grip straps. Barrel is marked with single-line NY US AMERICA barrel address, and left side of frame is marked COLT’S PATENT. Revolver displays a smooth, grey patina finish on all steel parts and a bright brass finish on grip straps. Walnut grips are very good with much original varnish, no cracks or chips, and a number of small indentations on the left side. Grips have shrunken with age and are slightly under-sized. Cylinder lacks engraved scene, and has one broken/plugged nipple. The barrel to frame mating is very tight, but there is slight play in the cylinder and cylinder arbor. The arbor has a crack at its wedge slot. All matching serial numbers (20918) across bottom of gun. Mechanics are functional with the exception of the slight play in the cylinder. A vigorous pull on the trigger at half-cock will release the hammer. Please examine photos closely to accurately determine actual item condition.

If you ever get the chance, you need to visit Simpsons in person. I did and am glad I didn't / dont have a C&R license.

I go there often, and I DO have a C&R license. Sigh. Many times, I have walked away with my wallet considerably lighter than when I walked in. The place is almost like a Museum.

Occasionally, if you're lucky, Mr. Simpson himself will be sitting behind the counter. He is one of the known Luger experts in the world and at any given moment the store has several hundred for sale, ranging from parts gun shooters to five figure rarities. These are not on the floor. The really high end stuff is in the back room. Most of the guns on hand are cartridge guns, but there is a good selection of black powder muzzle loaders of all types. Unfortunately, Illinois treats muzzle loading firearms the same as modern guns. This means paperwork and a waiting period.
