    This is the most accurate replica I could ever find of the LeMat. I love it, and use it for an 1870s LARP in my area.

    Beautiful and accurate replica. I got one of these to form a leather holster for the real Lemat I ordered and am still impressed by the details, size and weight.

    Had this beautiful, heavy, classy, minster of a gun about a year ago. I don't regret much, but I still regret selling her when on hard times. Next time, I'll just starve :)

    A very beautiful, very HEAVY replica! The reloading lever is operable, and the pistol will dry fire in single action. I can't imagine what firing the shotgun barrel would have been like!
