Nice, well-explained video about an interesting revolver.

Great presentation - I saw some edged weapons that I never knew existed. I had always wondered why Civil War troops were not issued entrenching tools - now I realize that the deficiency was solved by 1880. I have read many descriptions of Civil War troops entrenching by using their bayonets or even tin cups. Heck - entrenching tools were an integral piece of equipment for the Roman Army. You missed the Kabar USMC "fighting knife" as well as the Fairbairn Dagger issued to commando type troops. Another edged tool was a switch blade folding knife issued to aircrews, at least I was issued one when I was a flying photographer with the Navy in the mid 1960's. This was a two bladed folding knife with an orange plastic handle. One was a standard cutting blade controlled by a push button while the second blade was a cutting hook, designed to be able to cut yourself loose from and parachute or aircraft retraining straps. Obviously, the designers of this knife never flew. If they had flown, they would have designed the knife so that the cutting hook would have been operated by the push button, so that you could cut yourself free of straps one handed if the other hand/arm was injured. There were times when U.S. troops in Saigon were not allowed to carry weapons in town. I always carried this push button knife in my pocket and had use for it one time.

How about 1861 knife during civil war

What company made your cool western hat ?

Sir I own 38 cal 7 1/2 inches Colt can you share what you know about it.It looks like the one on your right, it swings out, my first question is, were they manufactured before the 45 cal? Thanks Sir.I like the way you presented history you were like a civil libertarian of the 60s

My father-in-law born 1925, repaired his fathers Remington model 11 Sportsman 12 gauge shotgun manufactured in 1934,with wire and friction tape at the wrist, just as those guns were repaired. I subsequently restocked it, reblued it, still shoot it, its nice

Oddly enough, the metallic shotgun cartridge concept was carried forward as far as the Vietnam War.

Well, 54 was actually the average caliber for colonial longrifles in Pennsylvania. They were made from small to large caliber, weighing a bit over 7 to about 10 lb but all being relatively slim and graceful as you would expect once they evolved from German rifles with shorter bareels and more massively built stocks in 60, 70, even 80 caliber. There were some 18th century long rifles made with heavy barrels but it does seem that the trend for those *very* heavy barrels that we think of in Western guns was a trend that came in during the 19th century. Thanks for the history, just some extra info to add to your presentation. No need for a super heavy barrel to have 54 caliber firepower!

When these were first marketed in the US. Many didn't want them simply because they were made in Japan. And for what they were the price new, was not that high. However, over time, there has been a recognition of the high quality of craftsmanship that went into them. So the price has gone up a bit. But who knew they would back then?

Not much different from the German Tankgewehr, but more rare. The inter-relationship of Americans seems sadly to be disappearing.

Another very popular manufacturer of under hammer guns was Hopkins & Allen. I think H&A lasted a bit longer than most.

i remember when browning came out with these i was in my early 20's. they are a work of art.

I put a Montana Arms vernier sight on mine, with a taller front sight, and a folding rear sight.

I took a ride on one of those back in the day; never been the same since.

After Browning & Winchester had a falling out, Browning worked with FN. Except for the Remington Model 11 & some machine guns, no true Browning firearms have been made in USA since then.

Browning made exceptional firearms when they were in Belgium. I'm not sure how the Japanese firearms compare to them. Nice presentation.👍

Nice replica. How about showing the cartridges with their collection. Thanks Evan.

Thank you, Evan.

What would be the value of that beautiful piece? Ed from Lynchburg

👍 Agreed! That is an exceptionally beautiful rifle. Thank you for sharing.

One of my dream rifles

Hi Evan. Outstanding model this 1886. J.M. Browning was really a genius. A repeating rifle chambered in powerful cartridges to modernize the previous 1876 model. Great choice. God Bless. Happy Trails.

Imagine my interest in this story as I'm watching a movie from the 1950's called "Cattle King", a movie about travesties committed by Wyoming cattlemen.

Lines similar to the Spencer Rifle, isn’t it.

Lots of bad information on the internet, but a picture can speak volumes. I was taught to never trust just one source, always get at least three, if I can.

That’s actually a S&W 38 Single Action 2nd change. The “Baby Russian” was a 38 Single Action 1st model that had an extended barrel shroud like the model 3 Russian had.

My local airport has one of these exact beacons. Clear on once side, turquoise on the other. On a dark hazy night, you can see it over the trees from my home 5 miles away.

Do you ever bet to shoot any of the guns you evaluate. Would be fun I think

I would like to have seen the action being cycled in this video.

Interesting Rifle, thanks.

Odd how many dentists have invented stuff over years......I suppose it takes your mind off looking at rotting teeth and halitosis 😄

Very interesting thank you for sharing!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸

I'm eager to see their collection, what an honor for you to be asked to catalog their collection.

Its in amazing condition for its age.👍

Another gem of an obscure firearm, Evan. Really enjoy these Firearms Friday videos! 👍

Thank you Evan

Really enjoy your show!

Evan def goated fo deez vids tho us in da hood love Evan cause he loves dem guns as much as we do an I ain’t capping my ninjas it fr fr fo shizzle tho u feel me rite?????

Between wars (both US and European) and the westward expansion in the US, firearms development literally "exploded" in the 1800's. The various ideas tried are fascinating.

“Because it holds 32 bullets, and I ain’t a very good shot.”

Hi Evan. Nice rifle. A lot of firepower for the time, but certainly overshadowed by Winchester and Marlin rifles. God Bless. Happy Trails

If you had one of these back when they were available you probably must of felt like one of most well armed people in America.

The bright white background is painful.

I'm excited to find your UA-cam channel. Great content and presentation! I watched your videos on the frontier knives and the Krag-Jorgensen rifle. Looking forward to the others you've donel. I hope to visit the museum soon. I was in Cheyenne in June, but didn't know about it. By the way, the 1895 with heavy recoil is the .405 rather than the .401. As I write that, I wonder if there may have been a .401 back in the day. .405 is the largest caliber now. I hope you keep digging through the museum inventory! It must be a treasure trove of amazing artifacts! It's such a great opportunity for a museum to reach out to the public beyond its walls to people that may never cross its threshold. Best regards, Evan!

Hi uk resident here. I have a Marble knife, handed down from grand parents, maybe even great grand parents. Origins unknown but I believe from the time of WW1. Got info stating it may have been made 1914. Has had the tip broken but very well repaired. Very fond of it but unfortunately we are unable to carry it in the UK. Still, takes me back to my childhood where I was told never to touch it as I used to sneak to the drawer where it was kept. Anyway just a little story...

As a carpenter & joiner I have an attachment to my hammers (three in total for differing tasks) I would not swap one for an extremely expensive new one. You know every single mark on your tool and feel an affinity with it. That is not Jim Bakers knife IMO.

The last sword you showed was a "barong". Used by the Moro People of the Philipines.
