Not a gun per se, but found a pristine copy of "Firearms disassembly with exploded Views" b y Karns and Traister. A superb reference for older firearms.
I really like to add these grips to a Colt Government model! They are fossil mammoth tooth and the best I have ever seen!
A friend of mine just got a Remington R1 stainless and polished it up to look almost like nickel. Might be an idea for your starting point.As one who made a living with modern arms, I really enjoy my muzzleloaders most. Of particular interest are flintlocks:
A friend of mine just got a Remington R1 1911 in stainless and polished it up to look like nickel. Turned out nice and might be a starting point to consider.So remember when I was all like, I should buy these then buy the 1911 to put them on? I totally ordered them and they just came in. Now I need to get a pistol to put them on. My plan is to then get it engraved, make a nice BBQ gun.

Pretty. How long is it?
Surprised I didn't post this earlier.
Not old, but a reproduction of an old revolver. My Uberti Top Break No. 3 in .45 Colt. Took 8 months from the time I put in the order to when I finally received it, I had to wait for the next batch of orders to be fulfilled.
Very nice. Did you order this one from Cimmaron Arms?

Man, I've been jonesing for one of those for years. I ordered one once and waited a year and then was told, they couldn't get it.
Been busy of late. Colt model 1905 in 45 acp but not the 45 acp you shoot in your 1911. Colt's first 45 cal handgun - they only made around 6000. This one went to the Copper Queen Mine in Arizona in 1907. Was period engraved at some point as well.
