I am a bit ashamed to post this one along side some of the fine firearms shown above, but it is my oldest.
An 1870s Saturday Night Special. Hopkins and Allen .32 rimfire. Jim was just a kid when this one was made.

Marlin 1893, shipped from the factory May 1st 1893. Unfortunately, it is on the wrong side of Sandy right now, so I will probably have to wait a week for her arrival.

By the by; she is in 32-40 (BP), so she belongs here.

Sorry, I was cleaning out my ImageShack account and getting rid of duplicate pictures. I didn't think that one through, very well.
I would have edited the original post, but the 'EDIT' button is missing there? It is available for this post, but not for that one?
