It's the wood grain. And when my father bought those guns, he was obsessed with "pirate" stuff.... (really!)

Recently at auction. 267.99 winning bid. Beeman R9 Elite
in 5mm. Google to see what they go for. Scope is mounted and sighted dead on for 25 yard OOTB! I was ready for serios recoil and noise. Zilch on both counts. 2 stage adj. trigger. It just at 2lbs and incredible smooth to shoot. Very bright scope and I believe mine is the same line but not same model as the other Banner scopes were 40mm and mine 4x12x50! That explains the tall man fit at 100 yards! No need to have more magnification in the majority of scoped. Evem if professional duties, then Arrange to set up position so as to maximize stabilization for shooting in the lower powers. Love it. One elev adj ^ and Im tearing raged holes! ALL GERMAN! 000000000000 outside work like Umarex. Some of which even have a cisible China stamp or sticker ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||||

Mmmn Hmmn. It's really tough on the "French" gun. It's as though it were pulled out of a "holster" for decades by the original owner. I Know with the right chemicals/light....Yadda ...Yaddda... The name will come out. I'm not going to start sanding that patina to get it....

I was told that military officers had their names engraved in the weapons they had.
See if you can make out an abbreviation of rank infront of the name, that would be the last name as well. I have to find my pics of a revolving chamber, rifle. Was cool to see.

This pistol is still a mystery. The engraved name on the barrel is barely legible. Part looks like it may be "Gabriel", but that's a guess. I need to bring it to an expert to have it identified.
The lion form on the hammer makes me think French ....? ![]() ![]()

Alrighty then! Here's a look. Love some ID help if anyone knows early 1800's percussion pistols!!
This is a Spanish made pistol, With the very faint etching on the top of the barrel "Francisco Arizaga Eibar" I believe it was made in Eibar, Spain by Francisco Arizaga. Don't know the year: ![]() ![]()

A keeper for sure! A very nice "Hand-Me-Down". That would look nice hanging over the fireplace with my percussion cap pistols.
Anyone interested in seeing very old antique guns? ---Cam

Lever Winchesters are esp. hot as well as most Winchester since they are totally gone. Maybe ammo still. I have an 1894 Trapper in 30-30. Great deer gun and more sporting since theres no scope and not a long rage barrel. So its more sporting IMO to have to get closer and use more skills for the kills. Then let the cartridge do the job as it does well!

Thats a keeper. Not to sell these days. the 25 30 was a deviation from the easier to find 45lc. Nice piece of history!

Time for some "Share and Tell" This Winchester Model 1894 used to ride around in my Gramp's trunk. He had a working ranch out in Apple Valley and on the way there if he would see a coyote, he would pull over, pop the trunk, rest this on the front or rear of his Caddy, let er' rip, then hobble over and with his trusty pocket blade, cut off the tail for the $10 bounty. Good times.
![]() There have been 7.5 million 1894's made, most I think are the 30-30's This has a ser# in the 400,000 so I'm guessing it was manufactured in the 1920's or 30's. ![]() Here's some history: http://www.antiquearmsinc.com/1894-winchester-25-35.htm I like how the Georgia boys prefer the 25-35 for fish'n. Mine is kinda beat up, but still shoots well. I'd like to know what that one went for. | ||||

They are the best 7.62 rounds for accuracy.

These are good shooting military rounds and accurate, but still corrosive if not maybe less. | ||||||

I always clean after using corrosive. To easy to let a long period go by if you dont do it right after using.
