Some years ago I had an idea similar to GoldenEagles thread on collecting US Military guns. Spider's suggestion on getting Flaydermans and working from there is a great one, but be prepared to lay out some serious $$$ to get them all [:D]
Here are some of the ones I've picked up so far. Because it's so pic heavy, I'll stick with just the blackpowder years. Feel free to add yours, especially the models I don't have represented (Model 1816, Hall etc.)
US Surcharged Charleville
Brown Bess-Early third model
US Model 1795 Springfield
US Model 1841 Remington
US Model 1842 Harpers Ferry
US Model 1855 Springfield
US Model 1859 Sharps
US Model 1860 Spencer
US Model 1861 Springfield
US Model 1863 Springfield
US Model 1865 Springfield-shortened [:(!]
US Model 1880 Trapdoor-Triangular rod bayonet
US Model 1888 Trapdoor-with original sling

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
I have a 50 Cal T/C Hawkin flintlock my father I built 32 years ago together. My Dad also bought me a Lyman New model Army 44 Cal. when was 14. Also, I bought the T/C 54 Cal. Renegade. Black powder is good stuff.
Super nice collection. Do you fire any of them?

I don't shoot any of the ones pictured, but I have another Model 1861, and another couple of trapdoors that get fired on a regular basis. I've got a Thompson Hawken that can put three shots touching each other at 50 yards on a consistent basis. Black powder is a lot of fun.
