    Forensic Identification for Flintlock Remains

    True, now that I think about it the Dutch Type II has a bayonet lug on the bottom and has a sight on top like that. I bet it's Dutch. Don't know why I didn't think about it before. It's been messed with so that the tang is beaten up and the rings at the breech are barely visible but it fits...

    Forensic Identification for Flintlock Remains

    no that's a bayonet lug without question. I would take pictures of the breech from different sides to see if there are additional marks underneath

    Forensic Identification for Flintlock Remains

    By chance is there more than one? It reminds me of the braized edge of a ramrod pipe when it is directly attached to the barrel. could be that the barrel is not original to the stock and the tang is in a new position (that could explain the bayonet lug being down instead of up)

    American muskets are often odd lengths. Is it .75?

    Forensic Identification for Flintlock Remains

    OK, this is a crazy gun and I'm so glad you have almost all of it together. I wish so badly it had any kind of markings on that barrel to show what colony it came from. The stock was throwing me because it has been trimmed down to removed the comb and top part where the butt plate attached. No...

    Barrel isn't French. Hard to say what it was originally the way it was mangled.

    Forensic Identification for Flintlock Remains

    Interesting put together piece. Could we get a picture of the barrel tang and the first three or four inches of the barrel above where the lock sits? Since the trigger guard, side plate, and ramrod pipes are British I assumed the barrel would be but now I question that since it looks to have a...

    WITHDRAWN Large mid 1700s pistol blunderbuss project, engraved

    I spent a couple hours yesterday and made a trigger plated and fitted an appropriate trigger for it so at least now the lock functions.

    WITHDRAWN Large mid 1700s pistol blunderbuss project, engraved

    This is a pretty fabulous ca 1750s German pistol with nice engraving. Unfortunately it needs some work. My price probably doesn't even cover the parts individually. Interesting and very pretty wood. Maybe some kind of burl? The pistol is over 20" long. The barrel is 13.5" and flares at the end...

    Help identifying this 18th century (?) musket (PICS)

    Aren't American barrels all round? I thought this was French 1772 or 1774 which have this style furniture and have less comb than the 1766. I could be wrong I don't deal in early American stuff it's too modern but lack of proofs would be surprising for an American gun as deep as they are
