They might just get built right here in the USofA!

Hobie,
Is there any shooting forum you are NOT a member of?

Just kidding of course.

I've never seen a real life Merwin and Hulbert. Only pictures. I have no idea what I'd think of a new one made from modern materials.

But what I'm thinking is that they will make them soooooooo expensive the USFA guns will be cheep by comparison. But I guess we'll wait and see won't we?

I'd have to have at least one, if the price is not out of sight.

I'd have to have one for sure

I had the high bid on an auction for one for over a week. I'd already started planning on what I was going to shoot in it, how I was going to carry it, what I wanted Hamilton to do to it, and then the last 15 minutes of the auction it doubled

It was a third model top strap with the skull crusher grip, 3.5 inch barrel, nickel plated 44/40

I always thought they were just too cool.
I'd like a Pocket Army myself. Blue would be best but nickel would be cool as that is how most of them were.

Yeah, pocket army, that's the ticket

Man, I'm starting to drool again

I for one, would love to see one that didn,t look like Noah saved it on the ark!! The few I have ever seen were "well used" to say the least. I have only heard good things about the design though. I would be very tempted by a new pocket army myself; apparently Mike Venturino was favorable of them back before SAS made them cool again.
