Who is Dick Miller?

[Axelgear]

Hey Calgunners, just wondering who a certain "Dick Miller" would be, is it a manufacturer or is he a custom gun builder? The name is stenciled across the top of a gorgeous flintlock pistol I'm looking at, and no amount of research is yielding much in the way of results!

Do any black powder veterans know who made this gun? Here's a link -

I tried, but didn't get satisfactory data

A Dick Miller wrote a column in GUNS Magazine back in the 1960's. Don't know if it is the same guy, but see page 6 here:

Yes, we should lock this thread before it degenerates into another pro-Dick Miller/anti-Dick Miller train wreck.

Colt 1911A1 34.95! Even adjusted for inflation, that would be $275 nowadays and a m1 Garand Grenade launcher for $7.50 ($59 today)
