[JOHN42768]

Anyone who likes old flintlocks, check out the campfire forum. I posted a set of F & I War ca.1730 British Officers Pistols. Craftsmanship from 300 years ago

As long as you have some really long term layaway plans.

Those are lovely. That St Etienne is such a wall gun!

So whats the method to group them together?

That fusil is in incredible condition. You are one heck of a lucky man to have that in your possession.

Thanks. It is a fantastical crafted piece. I'm amazed at how thin the stock was made. Only guessing, but must have been a very high ranking officer that owned it.

I somehow left off two photos of the Fusil. Enjoy the relief carving, see below

60 years ago, Lifelike Models produced a plastic model kit of a pair of St Etienne dueling pistols, mid-18th century, 50 caliber. They have a very similar construction and silhouette as that double: pinned barrel, similar drop in the stock. Similar rammer thimble. Must have been a thing at the time. Those are truly beautiful. BTW - the flint's in sideways on the fusil.

I'm intrigued, would you mind posting some pictures when you have a chance ?

There you go I have 8 up on the wall. The other pic of the Polearms from the Rev War and earlier are all gone to include some of the swords. Just sold recently. Made money on some, broke even on some, and lost money on some. Good news my future Son in-law wants to inherit my ACW Swords & Pistols so those stay. I was not going to sell the Rev War pistols because don't think I'd get there value or what I paid to get them. The third up from bottom is a Dublin Castle pistol. Cowans at auction sold one in 2018 for over $8000 and one just went at another auction recently for over $6000. Of course I did not pay that much for it back 25 + years ago.

Bayonet - you have museum quality display skills (and collection).

So just exactly where were all the castle guards when you captured all these spontoons and halberds?
