Antique Pistols

[jacobtowne]

I hope this is the correct forum.

Big boy and little brother.

U.S. M1860 Colt, cal. .44, SN 72xxx. Mfd. Hartford, Conn., 1862.
Ethan Allen single shot swingout derringer, cal. .22. Mfd. Worcester, Mass., 1865-1871. Complete with optional ejector!
Partagas Double Corona, cal. 7 1/2 x 49.

The cartridge box was made by Allen & Wheelock (1856-1865), predecessor of E. Allen & Co.
The firm seems to have changed its name every five or ten years.

I can't see the picture :(

Try again. This is happening to all of my photos. They disappear, then a while later they re-appear. Mysterious.

Now it's back.:rolleyes:
A question. Why do some photo posts have a border and the words "Insert Image," whilst others don't?

Not really a mystery, it's just the typical problem with most free web hosting, when bandwidth limits are imposed. Here's the message displayed if I try to go directly to one of your pictures. You would probably be better off getting them down to a size where you can attach them directly to your message (~120K I think), and you would avoid this problem.

I did finally see the picture though. Very nice.

Geocities says the image is 224KB. I've sized it to Webpage on HP Editor. If I made it smaller, how would it appear here? Not that I know how to make it smaller, nor do I understand attaching it directly to my message.
Thank you for the help.

I'm not familiar with HP Editor. The dimensions are fine, you just need to increase the JPEG compression a bit to get it under 100K if you want to attach it to your message. I use Photoshop, which has a Save for Web option, and you can move the quality slider until you see the size go below 100K. Then, before you submit the message, you will see a "Manage Attachments" button that will allow you to upload photos as part of your message rather than pulled from another web site.

You could also set up a gallery on pbase which I think is free. They go down from time to time, but not as often as exceeding geocities free bandwidth limits.

Thanks for the help. I didn't know that I could attach files directly from my computer.
HP Editor is a very simple photo editing program that came with my HP PRinter/copier.
I have Photoshop, but since I do not know how to use it, I called a friend and he told me how to use the Save for Web function.
I'll try attaching the new file here.

It worked. Thanks again.
