Pretty small pic that does not get any larger when you open it. Any way you could post a better pic? As far as being loud, I think that had a lot to do with the "caps" made at that time. I know they must have contained a LOT more black powder than today's caps (or do they even still make roll caps?). I remember a box of cap rolls used to cost a nickel and 'loud' was hitting an entire roll with a large hammer.....probably part of the cause of my tinnitus today. I still have my Stallion .38 made in Jacksonville, TX, not far from here, however, they have long since closed their doors.

Roland, i tried to upload a bigger pic but the site would not let me...this perticular gun, if i remember used a cap cylinder, it would shot 8 rounds..

Photobucket.com IS your best friend for uploading pics....

Yep, Digger's got it on the money.......Photobucket is easy to use and it will accept and auto resize any pic. Just make sure you have a separate album for your pics you post, as the entire album can be seen from any pic you post on a forum.

If the cap gun used the "ring" caps with 8 shots, it is much newer than the one I have. Mine dates back to the time when roll caps weren't even perforated and the charge was large enough to throw out quite a flash, not to mention loud.

It is a great find, even if you didn't use your detector to locate it!!
