    Help with identification

    I think this subject has probably run its course. So I want to say thank you to everyone who contributed. I have taken the entire 'thread' verbatim and compiled it into a short report for Jim, my neighbor. I also framed the beautiful scratchboard drawing that his dad made of the flintlock...

    Help with identification

    Quote: "I'd like to see a picture looking straight down at the breech area, and a close up of the left side breech area." I hope these will fill the bill. EDIT -- It's funny what you might see in a photograph that you missed with the naked eye. There is some possibility that the photo...

    Newbee needs help

    Hi. I am Bob Hoyer from Bremerton WA. I joined in an effort to help a neighbor who doesn't feel comfortable with internet matters of any kind. I just made a post down in Flintlock Pistols asking for help and guidance on identifying Jim's ancient Flintlock Pistol. If you feel you can be of...

    Help with identification

    My neighbor recently acquired a Flintlock Pistol which was handed down from several generations before his grandmother. Neither of us are at all knowledgeable. He asked me for help on getting identification help through the internet. I took three pictures. They are not the best, but I can do...
