I don't exactly count myself a gun fanatic, but I've never seen a gun of that shape before. The barrel is thinner and longer. Whas ist dast?
nextgenpants
Common in older revolvers. Remington Army 1858
HanktheHeliotropeShank
Looks a little like Mal's gun.

This poor creature is well past its golden years. Letting it grow old in caring hands is the best option it could have at this point.

Remington 1858 Navy, nice find man
rcpartguy
You cleaned it? That's 90% of the value giys who collect these things like 'em old like ' em dirty.... The best I can do is $10...
Flyndaran
Sorry, but my first thought was, "wow you found a turd in the shape of a gun."
clutchthepearls
That's a strange duck.
Sarix
I'm not entirely sure it's a duck at all.

Damn! You beat me to it. Have an upvote.

Ummm, where are you going duck hunting?
hotstuffburns
It's worth $5.
Robvp
I can go as high as $3.50
dembonz00
Actually, it probably is worth about $5. I wouldn't dare try and fire that thing. It's in relic condition. Practically worthless. Donate it.

Pretty sure its not really an old gun....Old guns dont usually say Black Powder Only....Reproductions do...

pnyouf
I'm glad you said that or I would have simply skipped what I thought was 10 more pic of the rusty gun !
RaefWolfe
Seriously, I assumed it was a rusted out hunka-junk and would have been afraid cleaning it would result in a pile of rust flakes.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
I can do maybe ten bucks, you cleaned it, collectors want it as is
jimmityjammity
Was expecting another electrolysis bath.

Bang up job* you missed out on that one.

I'll never forgive myself.
AssamLaksa
Thanks. I was about to skip it after seeing 10 photos of so many angles.
TheDukeofWashington
I was surprised. I thought it was just rust holding it together.
BallsackHippo
That's a Remington Model 1858. They stopped producing these in 1875 !

Except replicas that they still produce to this day...

I can't be the only one that read that as dick hunting
wriggles
What, isn't it??
JadawinUK
You aren't.
JediEwok
That's an old Remington, but judging on how good of condition it still is for just lying out there, it's probably a reproduction.
JediEwok
It appears to be a brass frame, they make repros with brass frames but original Remingtons never had brass frames. Plus grips aren't rotted.
latinISuseful
I strongly recommend, OP, that you don't do any more cleaning yourself, and hand it over to a professional, seeing as it looks pretty intact
barotrauma

Hybris51129
Points for finding that I honestly thought it was a Uberti replica.
InfiniteSynapse
Why? Curious.
InfiniteSynapse
Nvm. I googled about gun restoration and found out why and yeah, I agree.
CGriffo124
Well, why then?
InfiniteSynapse
Electrolysis baths remove rust without actually removing metal that is part of the gun. Some even use hot/cold oil and salt baths. (2)
InfiniteSynapse
It seems that in this picture he is trying to remove rust by scrubbing. Doing that removes some metal that is actually part of the gun. (1)
Fyrepony
It almost looks like it could be put back into service eh. Proper antique restoration and it could maybe fire?
halo00to14
I would recommend against this till the metal is checked out.
Tomburr
Agreed. If the barrel has been compromised by rust corrosion, that could very dangerous to try to fire without taking an x-ray first.
katokoch
Highly, highly doubtful after that much corrosion, but possible. It would need extensive professional gunsmith examination.

Did someone say discarded murder weapon?
houseofballoons
My thoughts exactly
RyanVanscoy
Best I can do is $10
Klingon00
Modern Black Powder replicas aren't commonly used in murders. If this were from the 1800's it wouldn't likely be as good a shape.
Klingon00
It says "Black Powder Only" on the barrel. It's definitely a replica.
CarlosBandana
Yes, I think you did.
ThatFloridaMan
Let me get my buddy down here who is is an expert on discarded murder weapons so we know what we're dealing with here.
FarceMajeure
If that's a murder weapon, time has taken revenge and killed the killer.
Flyndaran
Nope, Logan did some bad things in the 19th.
Flyndaran
Wolverine was the most famous immortal I could think of.
PandaBearSoup
Keanu Reeves?
GnRtattoo
arent you supposed to drop those at the police station so you dont get accused of murder at some unlucky point in life?
DiedAndHauntingImgur
Who throws away a perfectly good murder weapon?! They don't grow on trees you know.
AdrianAmato
Unless you use a branch.
Darthofthedead
Buffy disagrees!
RarryBronson
They do in America
Denbus26
Guns aren't the only murder weapon out there, you know...
Flyndaran
Lynching trees killed a lot of people back then.
Denbus26
Fair enough, but I was primarily thinking knives and other sharp objects
Sneekybreeki
You've never killed anyone with a stick before?
Sluggathor
Yep a murder weapon from 1875.
ArdentSlacker
Well... the victim would be dead by now anyway.
GothmogLordofBalrogs
1858 probably.
Sluggathor
Yeah, i couldn't find the exact model so i went with the remington 1875 but you're right it is indeed the 1858.
MyNeighborToblerone
I thought it looked like the 1851 Colt Navy issued revolver myself.
impulsivepassion
Prior to that, weapons for used for healing
fedoraeuphoria
All weapons from the 19th century were murder weapons
Wesugi
in big contrast to todays "Healing" weapons! :D

Defensive weapon with first strike capability is the official term, I shit you not.

Hey, to be fair, not all weapons are intended to kill but just to injure.

iwonderwhatthemaxusernamecharacterlimitis
guns from the 19th century did not say "black powder only" on the barrel. somebody lost a reproduction. Keep cleaning op. still cool.
getthismanabeer
In which pic did you see that?
getthismanabeer
Ah, so it's pretty obvious on PC. I was on mobile earlier; damn near impossible to see that detail.
RedWineAndSkyrim
so which pic is it? I don't see anything
getthismanabeer
Any of the last full photos, on the barrel - it's very fine and somewhat obscured.
Chattcat
Last two pictures. The two pictures before them say 'Made in ???'
RedWineAndSkyrim
Oh, I see now. Thanks
bossbrigand
Made in Italy, this is likely a Uberti replica
