Hanshi:
Those are beautiful pistols and yes they are Siler locks.

ridjrunr:
Thank you Hank, they appear to be small Silers. Can't wait to try them out, but I need to get some sites put on them both.

trent/OH:
I gotta ask, just in case they were a bargain, how much did 2 great looking pistols cost you? Don't be bashful, I'm sitting down.

ridjrunr:
Trent,yes I am bashful, I traded 2 laying hens and 1 duck at an estate sale (kind of). Both pistols need work, bad flash hole to pan alignment. One, the flash hole is above center and the lock is tipped up. The other has the flash hole on center but the lock is tipped up on it as well. Also one of the top jaw screws was bent to the point that I could not turn it out,so I cut that screw in half and ordered one this morning. However, I'll probably try fireing them just so I know I tried. All parts appear to be high quality ,for the fowl involved I'm not gonna complain. The only other booger is I missed an original 45-70 and pepper box.

Uncle Russ:
 2 Hens a layin, I Duck a quackin, and a Partridge in a Pear tree.......
