Post Your Favorite Gun Part

[romeo-1]

I think everyone likes to find gun parts...I've found almost enough to complete a musket but my favorite is this 1872 Colt Pocket Pistol. Post up your favorite!

Well, I've never had the privilege of finding a pistol or parts yet... but I have had the opportunity to hold a Civil War pistol that was found by an ex's father at Natural Bridge Battlefield, before it was a state park. He had many amazing Civil War relics & Native American artifacts, but he insisted that he would've rather found another nice button than the pistol. I just stared at him in disbelief because that had to be the coolest relic I've held in my hands before. Oh, and the pistol shot below it is mine. I found that at a lost fort site up there in Tallahassee, which only a few people know about.

Hello mates!

My one and only gun part. I guess that makes it my favorite.

Lucky enough to find these at an Federal outpost last year . 1858 Enfield , brass trigger guard and butt plate , complete with original screws . These were dug within a foot of each other , near a stone wall . I will always will wonder who found the barrel of this rifle . Notches made on plate are another CMD

This is my favorite for the year. A Springfield Lockplate. Not my overall favorite though, that would have to be the full .69 Cailber Brown Bess Complete Lockplate with hammer and Guts that I found at DIV 7.

If I could find my grotesque pistol butt (brass) I would post it.

Here is my flint collection. Almost all French, with a early and late Brit and a Brit type in blonde flint.

A Luger 08. Not really a gun part, than a part of a gun... Love it because the 08 is my favorite handgun.

I have a few....these 3 escutcheon plates. Two are seven years war (1760) and 1 is Revolutaitonary War from a Highland Regiment.

Ignore the heart...not a gun part...

I also found an 1870's colt pistol, and I found a ram rod holder in a field last year too

Hate to burst your bubble Hispan, but I think those are just turn buckles. I have never seen a flintlock screw like any of the ones you have. I do however find turn buckles like those quite a bit at 1870's - 1880' home sites.

Just my opinion, sorry.

I have to agree,the threads are near long enough

Old .22 cal revolver found outside of an old house.
The sling swivel was found at the site of the Eli Whitney gun factory (New Haven, Ct) in the '70's before it was restored into a museum.
