    An early American revolver conundrum

    Hello all, I just purchased a nickel plated six-shot top break revolver chambered in .32 S&W with a 3-1/4” barrel. The seller, Ancestry Arms, dated it to the early 20th Century. The only marks on the gun are the serial number on the butt and an inscription along the top of the barrel. The...

    Bersa Lusber parts being sought

    Hello, I'm trying to source a sear bar, also known alternately as a cocking piece, for a Bersa Lusber 844. The part is identical to those found in the models 84, 622, and 644. Here's a detail from the schematic; it is part #44. I have already checked off Jack First, Popperts, Numrich, and...

    Remington M51 parts source sought

    Hello All, I just acquired a very nice looking Remington Model 51 in .32 ACP at a great price. Part of the reason was that a piece is missing. Remington calls it the 'action spring bushing'. It apparently helps retain and cover the base of the recoil spring. This photo shows it missing. I'm...

    FN 1910 dating conundrum

    I hope to have some input into figuring out the age of a gun I just purchased. I've been using Andrew Vanderlinden's book but I have to admit that I'm confused. Everything seems to point to a 1914 DOB possibly as late as summer except for the Star/E inspector stamp, which Vanderlinden lists as...

    First Post: Savage 1907 parts

    Hello, I recently acquired my first 1907 Savage, a .32ACP manufactured in 1917 (171xxx). The gun is in overall excellent original condition. The only thing it's missing is the loaded chamber indicator. I know it's a stretch to find a minor component in a 100-year old pistol. Are there...
