Antique/Vintage Firearms Photo Gallery by Stuart Smith at pbase.com

Antique/Vintage Firearms

In this gallery you will see incredibly rare Winchester 1873/1876 1 of 100 and 1 of 1000 rifles and a series of rare Volcanic Pistols from the mid 1800's. This line of work of photographing vintage firearms found me, more than I found it, and it has taken me to museums as well as collectors gun vaults from around the Pacific NW. Being honored and trusted to photograph such historic items is not something I take lightly and I endeavor to take the viewer back in time to a vignette of what it may have looked like back when that firearm was temporarily set down by it's owner many years ago.

Stuart, these are incredible works of photography. It's many notches above any other gun photos I've seen.

Possibly some of the best photos of antique firearms on PBase:) And on a more serious note, one of the joys of PBase is to have access to the hobbies/interests/passions of people the world over.
