O...M...G... !!! The Levers and Others at this Pawn Shop!

1887 1886... 90+%
4 early 1895s...
Lightnings and other Colts...
Original unrestored Remington 1858... sans Blue. Beautiful "in the white" look.
Only one '99 though.

Ah well.

Good thing I'm poor... or I'd be making myself poor.

Primers and powder.
