The very first firearm that I owned was a "Kit" revolver that my parents bought for me when I was 15 years old. What was it you ask? A CVA Colt Navy caliber .36. It took me about a week to put it together the first time. And about 2 months to really learn how to assemble it properly after I ordered some replacement parts and waited for CVA to ship them. I was very sad when I had to sell that revolver. Anywho, yes I did write anywho, I was looking for some information about Civil War soldier's bedrolls when I found this website.
"The Frontier American Illustrated News" And they had an article about the 'Ole Navy Six. They also have some other extremely interesting articles and I'm spending a day just reading what they have. And wishing I had the funds to buy a new "1851 Navy Six".
So please click one of the above links, and see what they have that you might find interesting.
Another interesting article: "Money in the Old West: Coins of America's Dramatic 1840s-1870s"
So give them a look see. I think you might enjoy their site.
