Great history lesson for people who are new to C&B

wonder how much these are worth in todays market!!!???

 
From the description it's missing parts and the cylinder doesn't match. I saw a similar one at a SASS match that the owner cobbled together from original and replica parts.
 
Bannermans was a National treasure. I wish I’d been able to wander through there just once.
 
Quite a few of the Rogers & Spencer revolvers found their way to the UK for use as target revolvers, due to the onerous restrictions on modern arms in the UK.
did they fill the Government contact of 5000 and stop making it?

They made about 5,800 of them. I think all of the army contract were warehoused and 20 or so went missing. The remaining guns were sold to Bannerman. The rest were sold on the civilian market.

these might be a good investment. that’s low Production numbers
 
Some of them are.
Happiness is not how much you can buy, it’s right now. Are you happy right now, because moving somewhere else or buying more Colts, will never pin point happiness!

That's true. I'm happy with my life and where I am and what I have. I'd like to be able to buy more guns but it is what it is. I've had money and still have a few things from those days. Money doesn't buy happiness but it sure was fun trying.

I’m happy I can make money again! Full time father of 2, they sleep at 8pm. I wake at 4:30 am to drive people to the airport mostly, 8am, done. about $150-$200 a day. Not bad! very happy to put cash in my own pocket.
 
BTW: I had a repro R&S. Now every gun is a rule unto itself, but with a moderate load, what you would usually go to for accuracy, it grouped like a skeet gun. With a full house load it would tighten up and shoot where it was looking.
