M1841 converted to Colt standard & an M1861 Springfield. I just sold my 1st Gen Parker Hale Enfield. If I ever replace it I will be investing in a custom repro Type 2 P53 as produced by Windsor.

Used to have 2 1860 Army Colt revolver replicas, .44 cal. Handed them over butt first to a Confederate who paid me in US dollars.

I can add a bookcase full of out of print books to research and six "Brotherhood of Arms" action figures I got for Father's Day.

Though I'm not a reenactor my Uberti 1847 Walker is my sidearm/artillery of choice. My lil' Remington new army .44 just doesn't have the same "punch" to it. But I'd love to have a nice 1841 "Mississippi" rifle.

Oh, let me see.... I have a cutlass, .44 Colt Navy, 1842 Springfield smoothbore, my 1850s fowling gun, a bording ax, and of course my most 'deadly' weapon a belaying pin

Is there such a thing as too much... they are an investment for the kids.
