A Bunch Of Certified John Taffin guns are on Gun Broker.

All are black powder pistols. There are over 80 of them.

You can tell the ones that John was either using or was going to use. He had Qualite Pistol & Revolver install the 1858 Remington front sight on them.

But these are all John's guns.

I bought one of Mr. Taffin's 1858 Remington reproductions. I believe it has one of the front sights that you mentioned had been installed on some of his revolvers.
I'll post some pictures as soon as it gets here.

I almost bid on that ASM Navy Colt with custom front sight. It went reasonable. Trying to work a deal on something else though.

Wrong time, no funds available. Still had fun watching them gradually get knocked down one at a time. Considering they mostly all have Slixshot (or whatever the brand is) cones installed and the cost of the custom sight and installation thereof, prices were on the low side for many of them. Had my eye on a second generation Colt 1862 Pocket pistol with 5 1/2" barrel and custom front sight - it went for only $525, very cheap considering what the above mentioned customizing would cost on that particular platform. There's one more Colt second generation up from same seller. For some reason it wasn't in with the others and it showed up last night, end of auction in a couple weeks. 8" Colt Model 1860 in 44 cal, if I recall correctly.
