Italian Glisenti Brescia Bodeo Model 1889 10.35mm/.44 Antique Revolver
Howdy Townpost! I've got an Italian jewel for you to take a look at here. This is an Italian Bodeo model 1889. These guns are among my favorite antique revolvers. They are a very simple rugged and easy to maintain and repair Military revolvers with one of the coolest safety/loading systems as part of its design. These revolvers are very well designed, and feature the safety, loading/unloading system called the "Abadie System". This system was designed in Portugal, but many European late 19th century designs incorporated it. This particular example is an 1897 production by Glisenti at Brescia. Glisenti made Bodeos from 1891 to 1906. This is considered a tipo (type) A or an enlisted model. The type A had a folding trigger which was considered safer and was issued to enlisted men and the type B was the officer's model and had a trigger guard. This particular gun is considered a late model because it has an internal hammer block safety, which is dovetailed into the hand (pictured). The early model had a external hammer block safety that was prone to breakage. I've personally seen multiple antique examples with broken external hammer block safeties. So it was a good move from a design standpoint to change. The early models also were finished in the white in a similar manner to the French model 1873 Chamelot-Delvignes were. This example is of course blued like the overwhelming majority of the late models. This revolver is in excellent condition mechanically and has minimal wear overall. The grips are in excellent condition and we're refinished professionally. The chambres and bore are in excellent & minty condition as well. And the bore itself is one of the best I've ever seen on a Bodeo, with clean, sharp and shiny lands and grooves. This revolver chambres the 10.35mm Italian ordinance cartridge. This cartridge is very similar to .44 Russian but has a smaller diameter bullet (.422) and a slightly tapered chambre. I have seen these shot with .44-40 bullets that are .427 in diameter. These revolvers were loaded with smokeless from the get-go in 1890 using ballastite, a smokeless propellant. For an additional fee on top of the price I can have the chambres slightly reamed so that they will accept .44 Russian cartridges. That way you can buy an off-the-shelf ammunition without the need to hand load. However these are quite easy to hand load and source components for. The revolver is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide too.

The black hard rubber grips are good and undamaged. Mechanically in excellent condition with proper timing and lockup. The latch is also solid with zero play. Extractor works as it should. SN 5819, very good overall. History & Background Smith and Wesson's first double action design dates back to at least 1872 - years before Colt ever attempted a double action cartridge revolver. It was mentioned in a letter to the Russian envoy General Orlof, and although the sale to Russia never materialized, it served to pave the way for the very popular and successful line of double action top break revolvers. The .44 Russian model was actually the first to be produced as a prototype, and the last to be released for sale to the public. For this reason there exists a degree of confusion over the proper terminology: the first one to be manufactured for sale was the .38 caliber model, followed by the .32. The .44 caliber model was not released until 1881, and is variably known as the No. 3 Double Action, the Double Action "Navy" (a name Daniel Wesson wanted to keep alive to differentiate this model from the No. 3 single action, and still holding out hope to sell it to the Russian navy), and the First Model Double Action. Originally, the .44 Double Action was made with a 1 7/16 inch cylinder, however an optional .44-40 version was available as of 1886. This required a 1 9/16 inch cylinder, and a longer frame. The firm soon realized that it was too expensive and cumbersome to manufacture two different sizes of frames for what was essentially the same gun, and the shorter cylinder and frame were dropped in favour of the longer one in the early 1890's. The No. 3 frame .44 double action top breaks were dropped from the Smith and Wesson catalogue in 1913.

The walnut grips are excellent and show no damage this one looks like new. SN G47715, manufactured in 1886, rated excellent overall. MAS Mle 1873 French Service Revolver, 11mm French Ordnance The Mle 1873 was France's first double action cartridge revolver. After the disastrous loss to Prussia in the war of 1870, the French military closely examined its armaments and small arms, and they came to the conclusion that a new, more rugged and powerful side arm for their infantry was required. The result was the Mle 1873, designed by the famous partners of Chamelot & Delvigne, whose genius ideas would dominate much of the European military (and commercial) small arms market for decades to come. Many European countries adopted their designs, including Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Russia and Belgium. Only the Brits and Germans would continue to develop their own side arms.

Colt M1892 New Army DA "swing out cylinder" Antique status Revolver .41 LC Antique $5200
Please text anytime 6476871484. Fully functional double action revolver in perfect ready to shoot condition. No PAL required. Test fired with smokeless powder. Comes with FRT paperwork. Reloadable ammo is available but sold separately. Colt M1892 "New Army" Revolver has significant improvements over M1889 with better locking and indexing mechanism. This one is in excellent condition. The nitre blue on the trigger and hammer is well visible and retains 95% of original blued finish. The action is strong and accurate, and the cylinder indexes and locks properly with zero play on trigger pull. The bore of the 4 1/2 inch barrel is excellent and mirror bright with perfect strong rifling. The markings are sharp and defined throughout. Extractor working as it should. The assembly numbers on the cylinder, crane and frame. The original grips are good and undamaged.​​ S/N 13345 History & Background This model is an important milestone in Colt handgun development, as it is the first American revolver with a swing-out cylinder mounted on a crane, a development which would become the standard for modern revolvers to this day. The 1889 cylinder mechanism was already "on the books" as early as 1880, based on designs of Colt engineers William Mason, C.J Ehbets and Horace Lord. It would take almost ten years for Colt executives to give the green light to manufacture this gun, and once it was available, the US government quickly took notice and ordered several thousand for the Navy. Colt adopted the name "New Navy" in honor of this order. The gun has an interesting counter-clockwise cylinder rotation and a locking mechanism which relies entirely on the two-pronged hand.The 1889 model would remain in production for 18 years, with significant improvements in 1892, 94, 95, 96, 1901 and 1903. When it was first introduced in 1889, it met with no competition from the other major makers - Smith & Wesson were still heavily engaged in manufacturing top-break revolvers, and Remington only had their solid frame revolvers with removable cylinders to offer. It would take S&W another ten years before they had a viable alternative to Colt's design.

Magic the Gathering card collection+ [100s UNSEARCHED]
Firstly I barely remember how to even play MTG let alone what the fk World of Warcraft game cards are. What I can say and do know is these were just received by me and I own them now as part of a family estate sale unfortunately so it legally did cost me and notary and having greedy parents and siblings isn’t fun frankly I didn’t even want these things but it was insisted in a will and I know somethings like these need to be properly protected and stored to be of any value and I don’t even trust what little family I left to do that.Digressing before I take these to some sweaty cardshop and either ask the employees at the place what they are worth get lied to and told “10 bux.” Or throw me a booster pack of Pokemans cards then display some random card I have for $3,000 in a 4 bolt locked case like I’m an NPC in TCG Manager or better yet ask the nerds in the store playing in sweaty 90 hour tournaments I figured I would check online first and I was told that FB marketplace is often the hip thing todo these days (what do I know I was 10 years old when Magic the Gathering came out and haven’t played last since I was like 12 which was like 1996: there are (and I’m guessing here) at least 300 to several hundred Magic cards and when I checked about 8 random cards there might be some World of Warcraft cards mixed in though I was told this is limited and I didn’t even know Wizards of the Coast made a WoW card game. These are seemingly in mint or near mint condition as I was also told this and my previous family member owner was OCD about that stuff it seems like a couple also have plastic sleeves with support backings to not bend or so the cards are extra protected. Now while I also have no clue in hell what any of these are worth by looking at them even if I checked all of them I would guess wrong. I know they were apparently from booster packs whatever that means. And they are 100% unsearched unchecked and unappraised aside from the ones I used in the pics and 2 random WoW cards I pulled out last night and apparently have been kept in this 2 foot cardboard shoe box full basically end to end and that seems to me like several hundred cards. I don’t know but I do remember the original graphics on the back of the cards which are there, I don’t know but my family member who is no longer around had more than this but sold them or something and may have kept the most valuable and possibly the original non reprinted versions that came out originally if that’s the case they gotta be worth something so anyone who is looking for a box full of Magic the Gathering and some extras in apparent mint condition/protected that might at least give you a more than good chance of finding a rare and valuable card missing from your collection or this box being worth a few hundred to a few grand. Its your lucky day? Again myself nor anyone else who knew my family remember nor did anyone else search, check, review, research, appraise, truly value these cards aside from the several I pulled out at random just prior to and for the pics for this ad. In addition to this I again have no freaking clue what any Magic Cards are worth these days especially if there are decades old originals in here which I am assuming there are maybe the one that might be in here is the one like the Dragon card I ripped to shreds as a kid that was worth like 20 bucks back then. Hundreds now maybe? For all I know I should be getting these officially sent away to the offical appraisal services that encase them all in clear epoxy and grade them then stamp them and for several hundred dollars mail them back in velvet bags. And there is a card in this converse shoe box worth 5 grand, I really don’t know even if I checked all of them. But ultimately I don’t want to sell them to a card game shop owner who rips me off. I haven’t checked the value of the ones I looked at. I want these to end up with an honest collector legit. I hope an honest collector makes an offer/request so they can valuate until I do auction. equal trade pls in my ads-gold diamond pinky ring, gold/diamond 10-24k chunky bracelet. A dumb tv 55”+ no issues like new condition & base, lightweight coffee table similar to the lifetimes, office desk&good desk chair. Antique firearms collector like grandfathered specifically small 6 shooters old Derringers.Reales/pieces of 8 or Gold Escudos etc real period ones even ones in pendants or set in rings.pre 1964 90% constitutional silver or earlier bags or cans of all kinds of 90% silver coins liberties any pre-1933 American Constitutional gold coins 5 dollars-50 dollar specifically half or double Eagles.EMUs.pure bullion USA Canadian, Valcambi bars any bars or maples silver/gold bullion from 1 gram 1/10, 1/4 to 1 Troy Ounce(ozt) and again if it’s worth close to what I’m offering and you are willing to trade or even partly sell mix options are fine. -13-inch Macbook M4. Again no one + me knows what most of these cards look like let alone their values.Thanks GL!
