I thought these two old revolvers would be interesting. The top one is a S&W 32 five shot single action from the 1870-1900 era. It is the standard break open self ejection type and I have no idea what model etc. it is but it looks neat. The bottom one is an Ethan Allen 22 rimfire (BB cap or CB cap ?) seven shot single action . Notice the cylinder base pin latch, this gun was loaded by removing the cylinder and then unloaded the same way and the base pin was used as the empty case ejector. It is dated on the barrel but it is barely legible, possibly 1873? It's small size means it was probably a vest pocket or purse gun. Chris

Try leaving out...

Try leaving out all the spaces, apostraphies, punctuation, etc in the file names:
GOOD: TwoOldSixguns.jpg or Two_old_Sixgiuns.jpg
BAD: Two Old Sixgun's. jpg
UGLY: Two #%)*(& old#$%"" sixgun'''s.jpg
Ha! just kidding with the last one.
It confuses the image with the underlying code, or something like that. I guess.
Thanks--

Doesn't that say it all? IPAD _old non geek- can't learn new tricks. I think one of these excuses works. What do you think of the guns? I inherited them years ago. PS- I,m only ugly when I wake up. The rest of the time I'm so good looking I scare myself. Chris

Say's it all

That's the whole problem with these sites, most of the folks who would enjoy them the most probably don't get within 50 feet of an Ipad, let alone want to create an account or figure out how to upload a photo.

Says it all

I agree since I would not have gotten into this several years ago but now I have loads of time on my hands and I love showing off. I have to use all the time I have so I may as well have fun.
