    Couple I found





    No history on them, found buried in a batch of shotgun reloading stuff I bought as “a lot”. The DuPont BP can is Brass

    I haven't seen the Austin's The brass can may just be brass washed. Put a magnet to it and know for sure. Good find!

    HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!

    The Dupont can has a brass cap. I have 2 with the same style brass caps. If I remember their from late 1890s to very early 1900s
