I use 11's, just pinch them a slight bit and they go right on. The problem is the Italian cones are not exactly to spec to fit the No10 or the 11 exactly, this is why replacement sets are sold that will precisely fit the no 10 or 11 caps.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Start lifting weights to build up your wrist and arm muscles, you will need them to steady the weight of that piece :) Forget about belt holsters no matter what you saw on Lonesome Dove, the Walker was a horse pistol.

Of course if you don't mind being pants'd by your gun in public then belt holster is the way to go :)

They couldn't handle one. John Gotti was a gangster, those other assholes today are just punk wannabes, and piss poor ones at that.

Well I got it. It came today at the FedEx store. I know it's a repo but it sure looks pretty.

You bet it is a reproduction. If it wasn't, you have any idea how much money it would be worth? :bwink:

They are pretty rare. That is a nice one. Has an excellent finish!

There goes all the black powder!

I remember an original back in the 00's going for $900,000 in that condition. One of the rare 1100 originals, probably crack a million today.
