There's a bunch of Certified John Taffin guns on Gun Broker
They are all Black Powder guns. There was over 80 listed. Dot told me she was having all the black powder guns sold. John had some he was planning on testing. He had Milt Morrison install the 1858 Remington front sight on all those so they are easy spot.

I looked through the list and don’t need any more C&B revolvers but it would be neat to have one of JT’s.
I have dealt with that seller several times. They do a great job of photos and descriptions. They are honest with condition it I will say, they are slow as can be on shipping. They have a large number of guns that sell every week so you would think they would have the shipping part down pat, but no luck. Last rifle I bought from them was right at a thousand dollars. I paid for it the night of the auctions end and used an on file FFL and I took over two weeks for it to ship out. Just a heads up to any prospective buyers. You will be happy with your purchase just don’t be in a hurry for it!
Some folks got some good deals...

Wrong time for yours truly, no funds available. Still had fun watching them gradually get knocked down one at a time last night. 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 John Taffin 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.
I am very happy with what I got!

I have wanted an 1861 for awhile just a kind of a mix of the 1851 and the 1860. I have been close to ordering one a few different times but never got around to it. Now, I have a nice looking one on the way with a dovetailed front sight and Slix Shot nipples and from the file marks it definitely looks to have been shot and sighted in by JT! It will definitely be a special gun in my collection! Looking forward to getting it in hand
