from a new guy. Tom here.
I grew up shooting but am completely new to BP.
I assembled my first, a CVA WF .31 from a kit in 1985. It cost $62.00 then;
as yet, it's unfired, except for five caps alone. I presume that it's ASM, being from CVA. No proofs, only a serial number on the bottom of the frame. SN 681XX
Then, a couple of years ago, found another CVA (ASM) WF .31 - it was nasty, and out of a cruddy tool box. Gave $25.00 for it. Also no proofs, but has the SN 786XX
For Christmas, the wife unit and "kids" got me a cased Uberti "WF Colt" - nice !!
SN 06XX - boxed mark "AP" shows 1986, I think...can't find the .pdf now.
any info on all the above would be sincerely appreciated.
now, the old eyeball is on a used (looks unfired) Pietta 1851 in .44
drool...
Glad to be here.
