Hi All,
I’m not a collector, but would like to begin. I can across the following guns which I’m interested in: 1903 pocket hammer, hammerless, and a .25 cal. I don’t know much about them and could not get much information from the seller; he does not know who engraved them, etc. I was only told that the three were engraved by the same engraver (the seller thinks); the seller could not give me more history on the guns, no papers, box, etc… Before I make the purchase, I just want to make sure that I’m buying something worth having, for the price…
Can anyone advise me here...
Can anyone tell from the posting if this is a quality engraving?
Would these guns be considered investment quality?
Can anyone tell if the three guns were engraved by the same engraver?
What else should I look for?
What would you say if the value of the set???
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help in advance,
ybz
