While my better half was shopping, I stopped in at an antique store close by just to wander around.
He had a gun section with assorted pistols but what caught my eye was a Blunderbuss and a matchlock.
All purportedly original (and the prices reflected that).

What intrigued me about the blunderbuss was it was kind of a chubby gun, not slim and sleep by any means and it's muzzle end was kinda flattened rather than round.
The matchlock was very cool. I have no idea how one held it to fire as it looked heavy and the grip was kinda like a pistols.

Both would have made nice collectibles but I'm not rich like you guys. :)
