Thanx for the info tac, and you other guys, its none of those you have pictured tac, the owner said it was a Pedersoli Sharps, to load you put the internal hammer on half cock and pulled down the trigger guard ( which had a curled bit on the end ) which opened the breech and pulled the cartridge out about 1/4", you removed the case slid a fresh one in pulled up the trigger guard, pull hammer to full cock and go, looked thru the Kranks catalogue and it looks like the Uberti Hi Wall as treebone suggested but he definitely said is was a Pedersoli, just wondered what the cost would be and if I can reload it with the kit I have, once I have the dies, once again thanx for the info guys, cheers Tezz
