What year would be considered antique?

 

[Tranter]

Here is my great grandfathers double trigger Tranter cartridge pistol ca 1873 - not for sale of course but probably the most unique that will be seen on this thread! Pull both triggers and it fires like a double action. Pull first the lower then the upper and it's single action. Of course I have never fired this pistol and wouldn't even if I had the .38 rim fire ammo that is no longer made. This is a transitional model, probably built new as a cartridge pistol using an extra foliate engraved frame from an earlier percussion pistol, according to an expert who has reviewed this gun. I've had it 50+ years, and everything funtions; triggers, extractor, cylinder, latch, etc.

Antiques in General Pre 1898 - yet that doesnt have to be the case for this thread.... Anything cool and old.... Usually before thge 1920's - 30's...
Tranter; The gun looks like a Pinfire, yet with a very unusual double trigger system... VERY COOL Piece... Definitely something you will not see often.....

I have a Stevens No. 15 "Maynard Junior" .22 single shot that was manufactured sometime between 1896 and 1912 (I believe).

I'm not sure chandlee312, all I know about it is it's an E. James & Co. shotgun, Lovejoy St. Birmingham England.
