PRODUCTION FIGURES AND COSTS

From 1875 to 1885, the total military production model was 31,920 guns, at a maximum price (approximately $12.64 USD) in 1875 and a minimum Francs, or $8.67 USD, in 1880.

In this connection, I had to pay 25,00 Euro exceptional sample in 1954, while it would least, 1500 Euro ($2175 USD) now. Remember, European values.

A less ambitious sample may cost,these 1200 Euro (approximately $1,740 USD).

The N-Frame S&W Revolver

Ever since I first became interested in firearms (no, I’m not going to tell you how long ago that was!) I have associated certain periods in history with particular firearms. For example, when I think of the Thirty Years War in Germany (1618-1648) the firearm that comes to mind is the matchlock musket. Nor can I discuss the American Revolution (1775-1781) without mentioning Daniel Morgan’s Virginians and their long Rifles. When the Napoleonic Wars (1804-1815) are the subject, I envision red coated infantry marching in formation with flintlock Brown Bess muskets, while the American Civil War (1861-1865) is exemplified by muzzleloading, Rifled muskets such as the M1861 Springfield. And I doubt there is a gun fancier in the world who does not connect the settling of America’s western frontier with the Winchester lever action carbine and Colt SAA revolver.
