Merwin Hulbert & Co.

[ronny]

I was privileged to see one of Mark's pistols today and, having never seen one of these before, must say I was impressed. It is an extraordinarily innovative piece of machinery. The craftsmanship itself was wonderful, but the design(s) just set me back. Compared to a Colt, S&W or all the rest of the time, they were just on another level.

Thanks, Mark, for the opportunity.

Several years ago I saw this odd looking gun in a pawn shop, I had never seen a gun like it, it took me three months to buy it and in order to buy it I had to take a Colt Lightening that was in a box in pieces. I found out that the odd looking gun was a Merwin Hulbert which I had never heard of before. The gun is a beautiful nickel with full ingraving on both sides. It has a bird head grip without a blimish on it. After the Colt was reassembled I found I got a great deal on both of them, this was the first Merwin Hulbert I had ever seen.

Nice! I see the folding hammer, a very cool little innovation on the MH revolvers. If they were mine, I'd leave 'em as close to "as found" as possible.

True. Removing the original petina from an old gun can absolutely destroy the value.

So, let me understand you correctly. I am either not getting the story straight or missing something. Did you sell the Merwin? or do you still have it?

Ha! I knew that would get your attention.

Ronny and the rest of you here is a real treat that was just sent to me. Ronny remember when i told you that I might become a dealer for the New Merwin's when they start production. This is what they sent me today.

Enjoy
