I am looking for a Guns and Ammo Mag, about the Century Manufacturing Model 100 in 45/70. Elmer did the write up. I need the mag for my collection, as it is the first gun magazine I ever read, and started me on the slippery slope of gun nuttism. Now that is all I do, work, eat, sleep,and dream guns.
I ordered one of these in the 1970's from a company called Esmans in Pitcairn, Pa. I lost my recipt, and my money, the gun never came in, and I would still like to get one. I need it like a hole in the head now, but some wants die hard.

I remember the gun I knew a guy that bought or possibly collected 45/70 revolvers as he had a few of them. It was a hugh gun the grip looked lost due to the size of the frame. Also used to deal with Esman's as I used to live in the Pittsburgh area it was a great gun store in its day I still have bullet boxes and items with Esman's price tags from 25 years ago.
