This one is an old EMF Jager made in the 1978-9 period. It was sold as a kit called the californian. As an ffl I got it for $120. I finished it to look old, and apparently succeded. The gun in the picture under it is one said to be Doc Holidays. except for the b/p frame and bbl length they are very similar.
so come on and show us some pix of old, new and them that looks old.

Here is a fairly good shot of one of a pair of GW2 Customs. (custom nickel) and I added elephant ovory grips)
These are my Sunday go to bbq guns for sure.
Lets see some more guns....I love seeing them...

Grapeshot:
did you add the 1860 grips or is it the Alchimestia?? either way they look great!

My first dedicated CAS revolver (after coming into the game with a Ruger New Model Blackhawk) was this Uberti Cattleman .... which I still have and use.
One winter, I expended excessive amounts of time and effort casing it in the style used for originals by the Colt London Agency -

Here is my Uberti Hombre purchased several months ago on GUnBroker for $250.00.
It has the Millenium Finish and using materials I purchased off E-Bay I silver plated the backstrap and triggerguard, in addition I Gold plated the hammer, trigger and all screws and then added faux ivory grips from Gripmaker.
Cost for all was slightly more than $300.00.
I have attached a Photo but not sure if it will come thru.

how did that siolver/gold plate work, and what did it cost??
curley
-
Curley:
The silver was Madalion Brand and was a simple run on, it came as a kit with the silver solution and a sponge. The silver solution is applied to the sponge and then rubbed on the part to be silvered. It works better if the part is shiny and smooth and the part is warm.
The more and harder you rub the better the finish.
The Gold is also Medalion Brand, in order to use it you polish the part as shiny as possible, put the gold solution in the microwave to heat, drop in your parts for about 30 seconds and then rinse in water. If it isn't as Gold appearing as you like repeat the process until it is.
Both Kits worked well for me,when I purchased the Gold Kit it was about $22.00 and the Silver $12.00, if you are patient and willing to wait you can catch them on sale for less.
Hope this is the info you wanted.

I know it has only been four months but how is the silver on the back strap holding up?
-
:) TWO WALKS:
The finish is holding up well.
On the silver, the more I use the revolver the better it looks, not showing wear at this point.
Thanks for asking.

Good to hear. I now have three hombre's and plan to give the silver a try since it is holding up well. Now I need to get off my lazy back side a get some pictures of the hombre's on here. :(

Very very well done. You should consider making and selling these cases.

Not sure there'd be any money in it, at least not the way I went about it! ;D
Note the "excessive amounts of time" part ..... did things like cutting and fitting the finger-jointed corners entirely by hand with a little "gentleman's saw" .....

Wellsir, if my wife'd not kill me TOO quickly for spending money on "another gun box," I could assure you I'd be more than willing to shell out a few bucks for one!
My jaw hit the floor when I saw that... And as I WILL be going with some Uberti SAA clones for my SASS match pair... I'd need something right purdy to carry them in, now wouldn't I?
...
Then again, my da IS a wood worker... Weekend Father/Son Project? I should look into it...
Still, where'd you get that top bit, with the instructions and whatnot? I particularly like the "Take it to Pieces" bit!

Yes, such a project is best done as a personal "labour of love" -
The label is one of many reproduced in the United Kingdom - very high quality on parchment-type paper. They are not cheap (£15.00 and up from the primary British supplier I know of - Peter Dyson &Son Ltd.) but there is no need to order them from across the pond, because Dixie Gun Works also carries many of them, including the various "London Agency" Colt labels such as the one I used in my case - http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=10954 (http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=10954)
DGW's price (US$22.50) is pretty much on par with the UK price. To see what else DGW carries in this line, just type in "trade label" in their website search engine.
Another Colt label they offer is one for percussion revolvers - which of course are very nice when cased, as well -
(http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i219/GrantRCanada/Colts/ColtCampBrevolvertradelabel_zpsfb261c9e.jpg)
(The quality is much better than it might seem from this photo, which is just an enlarged version of the small low-resolution image on the DGW website.)

Beside my Colt SAA .45 I have this Western Marshal from Sauer & Sohn in Germany, import by Hawes Firearms Co in Los Angeles, Ca. Caliber is 38/357. Next I have an Uberti Lever Action Yellow Boy in .38 Sp.

Sir, I thank you most kind! I do believe it'll end up being a project my father and I tackle this summer, along with my gun cart (Shaped like a cross-I mean, Six Gun Saint, just seemed a natural fit!)! May can even get my brother and his son in on the bit-already trying to get them involved in the sport!

here is a shot of my "retirement" Colt, and it's brother by different mother, an all black GW2. When I got the GW, I felt it fairly cried out for a set of Colt hard rubber grips, so the late Bob "OlLone$um" Shaw fitted them and a Colt base pin. Holding them and working the actions, with eyes closed they are virtually identical.
If that all black/blue finish hadn't been so scarxe I almost would have wished it was CCH'd. Debbie of EMF was almost mad at me for stripping off the white grips. (but she had to admit it was dang pretty.

My new revolvers. Uberti Cattleman Matching Set, nickel, 5-1/2" barrels in 45 Colt. I'll be at the range this weekend breaking them in. Now I need some nice leather to hold them.

UH OH, the guy my mother warned me about... :o :o :o :o ;D
That 44 was walking by at a GRB gunshow in downtown Houston for $100 so I grabbed it. Rusty and funky, almost couldn't get it apart, had to use my heliarc rig to warm it up in spots to get the screws to break loose. Got it apart and the case color was shot and it was pitted from rust so I polished the frame a lil bit with Scotchbrite discs on an air tool.
Did the brass with some rouge and polishing wheels on an end grinder.
The auto guys and even a few of the revolver folks get a kick out've it at the range, doesn't take much to talk em into tryin' it out LOL!

She don't like talkin' about any of her babydaddys, especially you for some reason. She freaks out and hollers and stuff like when she gets close to marannaise in the store. Momma likes mustard and peanut butter but I think she hates you more than marannaise...

The gun on the right is conciderably older, late 80s ASM. The gun on the left is an Uberti from the early 2000s. about the only differance Ive found is the Uberti has a thicker front sight.

At one point I bought steel grip frames for these but I like the brass so much Ive never put them on. One day Ill take them off and have them engraved. One of my daughter inlaws works at a place that does engraving. I think a few curly ques and Ive named them after my twins " Lefty & Righty"! DR

Whoa, very nice. Looks to be a good job on sculpting/trimming the foam for the case too, gonna try that myself sometime. On the steel frames, where's the best deal at nowadays?

Here are my matched pair of Uberti Cattleman 45 Colt, 5-1/2" barrel. I was very pleased with them right out of the boxes.
-
I use mine for gunfight stunt shows/living history. At one point there was a significant chip (1/4") in the right grip panel. Instead of replacing it, I used Gorilla epoxy mixed with walnut sawdust to recreate the wood. Worked like a champ.

Those are some very fine looking hoglegs. I'm thinking I will have to get a brace of stainless 7 1/2's someday to add to the collection.

TwoWalks Baldridge, The photo of the Uberti Regulator 4 3/4" 44-40 is the way it came in the box. I believe the revolver is from 1995 and I am smitten with the 44-40 bug. I did hand rub them with tung oil, but the grain pattern was always the way you see it. Here are some other photos of that one.

Now the grips in this next photo are lacewood, and I have not yet been able to determine who made them. I did send photo to Outlaw Grips and received a very friendly reply and helpful information, but they did not make them either. I did not post this earlier because the grips are not on a SAA clone, but on a Colt SAA in 44-40.

Please tell us more about lace wood. Is it a specific tree species? Or a grain pattern found in a common tree? Where is it native?
-
Lacewood is a hardwood from Brazil (South America) Outlaw grips has Snakewood and Lacewood grips available. Some grain patterns can be similar with quartersawed hardwoods or sycamore. I'm not a woodworking craftsman nor do I make grips. But I do like nice looking woodwork.

You are a lucky feller for sure - almost every set of factory grips I get are plumb ugly. the lace wood are handsome as well.

Here is one of mine. Originally chambered in 45 long Colt, it is now fitted with an auxillary cylinder chambered for the 45 ACP cartridge.

Thank you. That pair is the densest antler I have found to date. I have made several more but the antler was a lot more porous and I have not found a suitable filler.

Trueno:
I somehow missed that this question was directed at me. Sorry.
That's just an inexpensive Panasonic camera under natural light (on a cloudy day). I enjoy arranging those kind of pictures and many of them end up being wallpaper backgrounds on my various computers and phones. My big issue, though, is that they run about 4-5 MB per photo and when I try to reduce the size for posting online, I get some wierd results. Not only do I lose detail, but the colors seem to shift a bit and blotches appear in places. The photos give a hint of what I want to show, but they aren't nearly as good looking as the originals.
Anyway, thanks for the comment. That holster and belt are among the things I'd grab if the house was on fire. I'm glad I could afford them--they are the best quality and most historically accurate of anything I've ever seen.

Started life as a 44-40, then I fitted a .44 Special cylinder to it and since the finish was worn, tried my hand at "antiquing". That really wasn't necessary as I wear the pistol just about every time I'm outside and after riding for hours on the tractor, cutting firewood, moving hay, etc., it's taken on a personality of its own.

They were making Dakotas back in 1890?!? ;)

Rattlesnake,
You will have to excuse Curly, sometimes he does not know what year, or century he is in. ;D ;D
Old Top
-
Yes they were making Dakotas in 1980. Mine isa Jager. in fact I have 2. One was sold as a kit called a Californian. it was only $120. and I gave it an antique finish. And as Old Top will recall it had the hated brass tg/bs until EMF did a clean up in the back room and found some ASM bs/tg that fit.
(http://sdough.smugmug.com/Art/Just-For-Fun/i-XNgNCN7/0/M/Gun1-M.jpg)
here is a pix of the kit Dakota. it was kind of cool. I even took one of the catalogs and price lists that I had down to EMF on one of our little visits to MECCA (just one more thing that you won't be doing unless you make a trip down here, right Top?? hehehe just have to rub it in, especially for comment about me "not knowing what year/century we are in. Of course I know what year it is. It is 1964, and we have to get on the Suzuki and get on down the hill to high school., April and Paula will only wait so long for us at the "kittenKoop" right?
actually the Dakota was the first gun I got after I got my ffl. I had another one that I picked up a year before and I let my ex wife keep it in my seperation. and now it is off to bed. been a long day.

My EMF Hartfords in 32-20. The top one originally came in .44 Special, the previous owner bought the 32-20 barrel and cylinder and had them installed. The bottom one has the blackpowder style frame with the screw holding the revolver pin in place.

Holey Moley, Curley!! :o
Those are gorgeous! Especially the engraved one, that's one beautiful gun! ;)

CC, who did the engraving?
-
Actually they are Taylors factory engraved. they did a lazer engraving and then had a smith go back and touch it up with hand engraving. It looks much better that way. My name on the backstrap was done by Kelly Lasiter.
I have had them for about 8-9 years as they age they they just get better. the grips are from Boone Traders.

I know I said you had seen enough of my Clones, but here are three more just for the heck of it, all Black Powder Frame Ubertis 2-44/40 and 1- 38/40 all were aged by myself, they too are good shooters. Might not be shinny and pretty like some, I just like the used look, and I have used them alot. I promise I won't show anymore.

Cimmaron Old Model "P" Charcoal blue. .......
Gorgeous! I've always loved that charcoal blue finish, but have shied away from it because I have heard it is not very durable, even though that in itself makes such a reproduction more "historically correct. What is your experience?
-
Had it close to a year now, so far it is holding up well. I don't put it in a holster because I don't have one yet, all I do is start in hand for now.

I just recently picked up this Cimarron Uberti Flat Top Target Bisley in 44-40. This is my 1st Uberti SAA clone, and even though it's a little older (1998 vintage) I'm impressed with the quality of fit and finish.
Best regards,

Grant: What the importers and Uberti call "charcoal blue" really isn't, it is nitre blue that they dip in molten potassium nitrate. That is why it is very fragile and looks so neon blue.

My Navy Arms 45 LC started life as a new blued gun. I sent it to a gunsmith in Arizona for an action job and antiquing. He did an awesome job. In person the gun looks 100+ years old.
