...you wanted: antique or newly made, black powder or nitro: costs, legality, cabinet space, wife's complaints, etc. don't matter: what one do you want? Why?

The revolvers used by British officers Gonville and Chard at Rourke's Drift in 1879. With papers that prove their provenance. That would be a very lucrative present indeed....Seriously, a nice old Webley or Tranter revolver boxed with all the kit. Have a Merry Christmas, Jim.

The Mauser pistol carried by Winston Churchill in the Sudan and his .45 Thompson, presented to him in WW2, Sheer bliss, when men were men!!! Not ruled by this shower of absolute tossers.

Neither are black powder or muzzleloaders: but I get your point!

Whatever you want..
I'd like a pair of nice modern beaumont adams repros, preferably reproduced by purdey or similar, in a nice leather and wood case with all the accessories.

Sorry Jim, lost the thread. To much drink, Xmas and all that!.My choice would be General Custers handguns. Would they qualify???

I think I'd go for Prince Rupert's hand guns, and I'd blooming well shoot them as soon as I could find a weather cock

I've got one of them. The price was eye watering but I've had lots of fun shooting it and it's probably already worth more than I paid for it

Hi Jim,
Dream Gun would be a boxed .45 Luger one of very few made for the US Army to trial but lost out to the Colt,
Black powder Dream Gun would be either a Dragoon Colt or Navy Colt both cap and ball,
Almost as big as me, but such a satisfying KaBoom!

That's a good question! I'll have to check and see what he was carrying at Little Big Horn.
