What is this?
« on: September 30, 2016, 09:07:31 AM »
Im kinda new here so I apologize if this isn't the correct section. But what is this gun and who makes it? Im assuming its a clone.

The revolver with the text "The Soellner’s reproduction of Buffalo Bill’s holster and gun belt." under it. Looks like some type of open top conversion.

It is a version/facsimile  of the Conversion Buffalo Bill owned,  a 51 Navy , I believe BB's was cut to 5 5/8 " bored through Cylinders
chambered 38 long.

I have similar gun & holster though my project was on a 7 1/2 " Richard & Mason cut 5 1/2 "  tuned by Long hunter
it chambers 38 Spcl.  the holster was made by a good friend.
when planets align...do the deal !

Looks like I'll have to make my own. Would a Uberti 1851 cap and ball be a good start?
