    SOLD Small walnut bowl made from an 1820s house window frame

    One of my favorite things about turning wood using old wood is that you can take a piece of scrap and turn it into something to treasure. This walnut bowl is a cut off from a previous project. It had some rough areas and had the locust pin but I thought I'd give it a shot today. The result is...

    Estate Assistance with origin of Rev War Musket

    The chicken mark on the lock is Suhl arsenal, German.

    Help needed

    This is a good early one and is likely a real Lazarro Lazarino. Looking at the style of lock I believe it to be 1660s +/- 10 years.

    SOLD ca 1700 French flintlock pistol

    Y'all know I like the early stuff. This is a neat transition piece with an early style lock and newer style hardware. You first start seeing the triangular style side plate in the 1690s. The lock is right about that period but with an earlier style ****. You can tell the earlier ones because the...

    SOLD Hand turned pine bowl using 200+ year old wood

    This bowl came from a floor joist out of a house build in the 1810s to early 1820s. The joists are about 12" tall and 3" wide and maybe 20' long. Cutting out most of the soft outer wood which tends to be wormy, I am able to get a bowl 6.25" in diameter and 2.5" tall. The nail hole is from a...

    SOLD Late 1600s or early 1700s pistol

    Here's the side plate and old wood inletting. To be clear, now that I've had it apart, I believe the side plate is modern, hand fitted to the old. It's not perfect but they put a lot of time into making it. The lock mortice is good showing the repair visible from the outside. Lock has some good...

    SOLD Late 1600s or early 1700s pistol

    Minor philosophical difference. Americans want a 300 year old item to show it's age. The Europeans will clean it till it looks like it did when in use. Neither is right or wrong, just different.

    SOLD Late 1600s or early 1700s pistol

    Europeans tend to overclean to American tastes. That's why antiques from over there are almost always in the white. Looking at the age of the wood, how it is slightly shrunk around the side plate. The aging around the metal pins holding stock and ramrod pipes. The details of the lock and other...

    Please help me identify this potential 1600s flintlock pistol

    I'm not certain it is even old. Brass screws, a lock engraving that looks stamped instead of...engraved. I wouldn't be surprised if that barrel doesn't have a breech the way that tang is welded on. 19th century at the very oldest, I'm thinking tourist piece from the last 75 years.

    I haven't taken off the barrel to check underneath. Nothing is visible

    No visible proofs. Could be underneath but that's hard to get to.

    SOLD Late 1600s or early 1700s pistol

    This is AA caliber. I tried it first and it partially fit lol. I was able to see down the barrel better but I wasn't able to photograph it, sorry. It's rusty but I still think perfectly safe with a light load.

    SOLD Anyone want an interesting and early project?

    ca 1650s pistol. Lock had an old blacksmith weld fail at the end. The sear spring is broken and bubba got happy adding too big screws for the lock pins and top jaw so those should be replaced with hand made screws. Once you weld a new end on the lock you should be able to fit a real main spring...

    Nice old original 300+ year old pistol. Repair to wood beside barrel tang. It's above .50 calibre but not sure how much, maybe .54?
