I have a line on an interesting antique firearm and bible for sale that might be of interest to someone on ar15.com, so I thought I'd put out a feeler.  I would be selling a Colt 1851 Navy Revolver and a Bible printed in 1618.  These 2 items were the personal property of a Reverand C. W. Miller who fought with Morgan's Raiders during the Civil War.  The items come with full provenance and documentation.  They make quite a stunning and historically interesting set, and of course the price would reflect that.  If this is something that might interest you please contact me off-line.

Here's the revolver with case and accessories:

And here's the bible:

50 bucks. Not a penny more.

Damn, rainman, I wouldn't want to take advantage of you. [;)]

Absolutely beautiful.

This is certainly a case of "If you have to ask how much, you can't afford." [:(]

You need to take that on to the Antiques Roadshow so you can get a free professional appraisal and we get to see your reaction:

those are pretty cool, I'd like to check out both.


I don't suppose there is some sort of "Reverend" discount on this stuff??? [;)]

Here's the bible's title page:

Who is the dork trying to fit the pistol into the case backwards????

[}:D]

That's some pretty cool stuff you've got there marvl. Just the Bible by itself would be something cool to own. I also think that you should take it to a professional and have everything appraised. I'm sure you could get a [b]tremendous[/b] amout of money out of it.

If they were mine I don't think I could part with them. Good luck!
