Wayne Driskill Miniature Firearms
WELCOME!!!!!!
Last updated 5/12/2008 Lots of new miniatures are here and many more are on the way! Please see my six pages of new items. Other new items are scattered all around the website! (Top photo) This is the absolute best Tom Weston of Mexico City Winchester 1866 saddle ring carbine in the world. Incredible engraving that just gets better the more you look at it. I don't know who engraved it, but I sure wish I did! There is a small figure of three intertwined circles on the bottom of the receiver with what I think are the engraver's initials, DH, and 85, the year I think it was engraved. The carbine itself was probably made by Weston in the late 40's or 50's. Seven extremely high quality beautifully detailed engraved panel scenes. Gold wire inlay on the lever, hammer, rear barrel band, and on the breech and muzzle of the barrel. The stocks of elephant ivory, the butt stock showing several age cracks. The left side of the butt stock carved in high relief with the Mexican eagle on cactus with snake motif. Take a look at the photos and I'm telling you my photo skills just will not do this piece justice!!! I've talked to several engravers and no one seems to know the engraver, but they all agree he is one of the best and that this engraving would cost $12K minimum to have done today. 19 5/8" long overall with a 10" round .22 caliber rifled barrel. Absolutely fully functional including the double firing pins and extractors! Full magazine, straight grip, crescent butt plate with trapdoor for a cleaning rod and the blue steel three piece cleaning rod in indeed included! When only the best will do, this is the best!!! this exact piece was featured in the Winter 2005 issue of "Miniature Arms" The journal of the Miniature Arms Collectors/Makers Society.
