Here are a couple more...
The nickle plated pistol has no markings other than BOOM on the top of the barrel & pat nov 4 1879. What brand is this?

The other says Colts P.T.F.A. MFG CO HARTFORD CT USA. Also stamped 22 cal. Is it real or a knockoff??

Thanks!!

    The "Boom" was made by C.S. Shattuck circa 1880's in Mass. It's not at all common, looks to be in "Antique" , Very Good condition. latest issue of Flayderman values it at $325.

    The Colt is a "Open Top Pocket Model", circa 1870's , with the heavy pitting and missing the ejector mechanism, probably about the same.
