ANYONE EVER HEARD OF LIMESTONE ??????
« on: March 21, 2007, 02:23:19 AM »
I was looking through some old stuff at my mom and dads house and found this gun.
it is very old and looks great but the spring that holds the trigger back is broken.
the gun looks like a pocket gun (revolver) holds 7 rounds, dont have it in front of me right now but this little gun will fit in the palm of your hand , it doesnt look to be a derringer though..
the only writing on it is limestone...
any info would be greatfull..thanks...bap

there are on other markings on the gun at all...
ive tried google and searched everywhere and keep coming up with nothing..
i took it to our local gun dealer and pawn shop today looking for info but no one new anything about it..
1 older gentalmen had seen a couple like it but not limestone, he said they were probably made late 1800s to around 1930 or so but not sure..

You haven't given anyone much to work with.  Post some pictures and maybe someone will recognize what you have.

Set you up an account with www.myhostedpics.com and it's as easy to upload them and get a URL as it is to add them to an e-mail. Basically same process involved.
