Something about impractical guns makes them desirable as collectors items. That is one cool revolver.

I agree. For example I've always been a fan of the Mauser C96 Broomhandle. I've actually fired one and that is one pistol that is not comfortable to shoot. It does work better with the rifle stock attached. Plus it's balance is odd. But it's still a very cool handgun.

So I managed to look up the serial number and confirm that my Enfield actually was issued to the North West Mounted Police around the time of Louis Riel's North West Rebellion in 1885. Which makes it a great piece of Canadiana and worth a pretty good premium over what I paid! I'm really more excited about the history than the value, of course, but still, it turned out to be a great purchase no matter how you slice it.

By the way Checkman, I definately have to agree with you. The C/96 is a very cool gun, but it is profoundly unpleasant to shoot.
