    An Indian flintlock Pistol

    Hello Rick, This pistol is a favourite of mine, it's nice to handle and the thick wall of the barrel feels very capable of a powerful shot, the word Baroda engraved on the ivory panel probably refers to the Princely state of that name, Sarkar on the barrel means government and raj means rule...

    Ottoman Guns

    Hello Rick, thanks for your reply , the green dye is interesting and I presume it's stained on bone?, I just took a shot of the muzzle to show the rifling, it's very corroded down there as you can see, I have a cleaning rod up in the loft so will give it a clean. There is a small signature...

    Ottoman Guns

    Wow, some amazing beauties posted in this section, I'm hoping it's o.k to add my rather plain presumed Ottoman gun here, it's 42" long, and the barrel is rifled with 6 grooves and appears to be a simple form of Damascus steel. The stock is said to be Tiger wood, and the Miquelet lock has a...

    Hello from England

    Even back in the 60's you still needed a black powder licence, I applied and had a visit from the police! he wanted to know where I would fire the weapons etc so I said I was joining a club even though there were none anywhere near me. Then he said I needed a lockable cabinet to keep them in...

Rules for firing them in the UK are very strict now but back in the 60's I fired quite a few of them. I had most of them stored in the loft and recently got them...
