My small collection.

Nice collection.

There are some dealers in Sweden that are more or less specialized in CW revolvers and rifles. My revolvers are from two of those. Wish I could import interesting objects myself, but probably its not that easy. The dealers have to make some profit after all expenses during import, and that makes the guns rather expensive here.

For a time back in the 1980's I was actively looking for French Napoleonic pistols, longarms, and swords and amassed a decent collection of them, all purchased here in the States. I was surprised at some things I encountered, like three regulation epees of French general officers, First Empire, Louis-Phillippe, and Second Empire examples; also two different cavalry musketoons and a dragoon fusil. Many things the sellers had absolutely NO idea what they were, like the very rare M.1786 Naval pistol I bought for $300 from a kid at a gun show who thought it was a "pirate pistol"!

Nice buy on the "Pirate Pistol"!

That is a really outstanding collection. I like those pistols a lot. They look to be in fine condition. Thanks @Claes for posting them.

matching serial numbers very nice!

Actually the wedge on the navy is old but not matching number. The wedge on the pocket is not numbered, so probably new.

I bought my best M.49 pocket Colt from a reputable and knowledgeable dealer's shop back in October and was told the non-matching serial number on the wedge likely came that way with the pistol because it was only the last digit that didn't match but was within only a few numbers from the rest of them on all the other parts, including the cylinder.

Small collection, not really. It's not how many you have, but the quality of what you do have.
