Ok. I do not know much about this and am not going to pretend to!
From what I have gathered and what others have said is it is a 1850s .36 caliber. I haven't got it identified, if someone knows what it is please tell me.
It is in what I consider to be excellent condition for its age.
Markings:
"11" and "11" on top of each other right in front of trigger guard
An indented square on right side of butt/grip
A stamping that appears to be a "E" on top, two ferns? crossed with a "S" on the left and an "R" on the right.
A sideways "8" possibly an infinity symbol on the left side of the barrel
Gun appears to be complete. Shows signs of work. The screw heads are a little mangled and the screw that holds on the main spring from underneath behind the trigger has its head pretty much worn down.
The hammer and trigger function. It clicks/locks back 2 stages and releases just fine. The nipple i think they are called that the hammer hits its bad. It unscrews though so I imagine in can be replaced.
With the nipple thing replaced I believe it is fireable. I would shoot it, seems solid.
I am asking $200 and am open to trades with cash on either side depending on what it is. I dont have anything set in mind so feel free to PM me whatever you have up for trade, something may spark interest.
ALSO I can ship this anywhere, no FFL needed. If I am wrong please correct me, thank you!
