When you've been collecting off and on for almost 50 years, you end up with a few single shots.
The top picture comprised my collection up until a few weeks ago with the bottom picture being my latest additons.
At top center--a Navy Arms 1855 Springfield pistol carbine in .58 cal. Got it in a trade and have little to nothing invested.
left side
2nd--Navy Arms 1777 Charleville in .67 cal. I think I bought this back in the 70's used for $50
3rd---Lyman Great Plains pistol in .54 cal--a friend built this from a Lyman kit
4th---reproduction Parker target pistol by Bondini--.45 cal.---a fairly recent purchase with the idea to find a second to put together a dueling set on the cheap.
5th---an engraved .41 cal percussion derringer from Dixie gunworks. Being engraved it might have cost me $60 or $70 back in the late 70's.
right side
2nd and 3rd---two Tower flintlocks from Dixie gunworks made in Japan in .69 cal--Dixie sold these for $39.95 back in the 70's They came from Japan with soft frizzens, so I had to get them hardened to shoot.
4th---Pedersoli 1804 Harper's Ferry---.58 cal--originals were .54 smoothbores
5th--.41 cal made from a kit by Classic firearms. This was the same model as their derringer with a blade bolted on to make a poor mans Elgin cutlass pistol.
Here are three more that I picked up in just the last few weeks.
On top is a Military Heritage imported (Indian made) 1766 French cavalry flinter, Next is a Traditions Parker replica, and at bottom is a Pedersoli Queen Anne. All are unifired. I snagged the cavalry flinter and the Queen Anne in a live auction for a total of $425 including buyer's premium. The Pedersoli sells for more than that by itself. The Traditions, I won on Gunbroker for $170.
Once again, I bought this with the idea to obtain a second to put together a dueling set. I may have a better chance of finding a 2nd Traditions than I have finding a second Bondini shown in the first picture. However, the Bondini is a superior replica to the Traditions in every way.
