    Comparing an American made fusil from the Revolutionary period and a Liege Brown Bess

    Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. The lock is actually American. The Galton mark is fake. Far too thick an engraving tool. It looks sloppy. It does have an internal bridle and is in the British style, but crude. The trigger guard with that narrow hazel nut is very similar to an American made one...

    Comparing an American made fusil from the Revolutionary period and a Liege Brown Bess

    I got this Libertas marked American fusil in the mail yesterday and am dying to get the rust cleaned up. At first I thought it had a British lock but the Galton engraving is far too crude. Too wide an engraving tool. It has Libertas engraved under a rough crown made with dots, no idea why...

    SOLD 8" American Chestnut bowl made from a joist in a 200+ year old house

    House was built in 1819. The last floor joist I salvaged was heart pine. This one is Chestnut I believe. Smells like chestnut. A neat feature of this early wood, notice the raw board has straight cut lines not from a circular saw. It's possible it's from a water powered up and down sawmill but...

    SOLD Late 17th century flintlock musket

    More pictures. I don't think it would take much to get the lock to come in closer to the barrel. The lock needs minor adjustment. The notch for half **** is cut too deep and will need to be filled at the edge so the **** doesn't catch in it and keep it from reaching the frizzen.

    SOLD Late 17th century flintlock musket

    As you can see there is some room for improvement. The forearm is cut and there is a gap between lock and barrel. Barrel is a three stage with two sets of wedding bands but the original removed lugs do not match up with the stock. Impressed they found this good a match honestly. Barrel is 42"...

    FOR SALE Percussion American long rifle with patchbox, project

    Well I do like to give you guys a chance before I put it on eBay. It isn't going any lower but I could use the money so it has gone down up to this point. It's wild what people do and don't want. I had a shortened and broken VA manufactory musket on here and couldn't get $300 for it. Parted it...

    I'd love some help with identifying this

    I suppose it could be a bit earlier but the type I and 2 both have a pinned barrel and ramrod pipes and this has always been held on with bands. Could be as early as the 1770s I suppose, unless of course the lineage of the Dutch EIC could be entirely different from normal Dutch guns.
