OT - Siblings
Well, maybe two siblings and a cousin!
These are my "1860's". The top is an old Centennial, made in Belgium, supposedly on original Colt equipment. This was the first cap & ball revolver I ever fired, and still one of my all-time favorites. It is marked "1960 New Model Army", and I remember this revolver along with a Navy Arms 1851 Colt Navy and a Navy Arms Zoave hanging over my Mom & Dad's fireplace when I was growing up. It is at least 35-40 years old.
The other two are recent additions to my collection. Both are Pietta-made reproductions. The middle one is the newest. I just picked it up a few weeks ago when Cabela's had their sale on these guns. It was a great deal (thanks O.S.O.K. for letting me know! ).
The last one is a Pietta 1860 snubbie. I picked this one up on sale a few years ago.
I think I have all the barrel lengths covered now!

Re: OT - Siblings
Love those 'pairs' and 'sets' . . .
Now ya just got to get a rifle or carbine to go with each of those.
Then one of each in a different caliber.

May your rifle always shoot straight, your mag never run dry, you always have one more round than you have adversaries, and your good mate always be there to watch your back.
Because I can!

YK, you gotta get one of these for your snubbie. It's more fun than should be allowed.

Nice pistols Jay! I've always wanted one, and may have to make the jump when the price is right.

Re: OT - Siblings
I used to own this set of 1860s. They were colt reproductions from the 1970s. Think they were U.S. cavary comemratives.
