You're right I'm confusing you. It is a 40-82 Winchester. With Octogon barrel. I miswrote, adding the year (86) to the caliber. Here's a photo. The one above is a replica Hawkin in .45 caliber. The one below is a replica Smith & Wesson American in .45 caliber. It was a pistol owned by Wyatt Earp at one time. It was also believed to be the gun he used at the OK Corral, but that has been debunked.

The Cold is an 1860. I had the year wrong, confusing the year the pistol came out with the year the war started. Sorry for the errors.

Beautiful.

The 1860 is one of my favorite firearms. It’s that graceful curve under the barrel that does it instead of the blocked off angle cut of the 1860. For shooters, I prefer the Remingtons but they don’t feel right. The grips are too short.

Some years ago, a company sold non-firing replicas of famous guns. They even put in the scratches and left out the missing screws of the original. I don’t know if they ever made one of Earp’s gun.

I wish I could display my toys but in my neighborhood, gun safes are a better choice. One of these days, I’ll add my favorites to my porfile page.

Most of my questions are answered by two books. The Flayderman’s Guide to Antique Firearms and Cartridges of the World.

Oops. Blocked off cut of the 1851. Sorry.
