I'm sure everyone is curious. you have all these weapons that you don't seem to know where they came from. Did you inherit a collection or something? You may be in need of a good appraiser to help you out.

Hi,
Obviously, they are modern made. I have no idea who it was but he made a brave attempt and almost got it right. The locks appear to have some small Siler lock parts repurposed for the pistols. He appears to have tried to make an early style case with wood covered with leather and wall paper lining. Usually, those cases were completely lined with paper rather than woolen baize fabric (not felt). The tools are largely for a later time period. It looks like an original powder flask. Like I said, he made a brave attempt.

No, everything I'm selling so far are things I picked up on a whim and never really bothering to check them out because they tickled my fancy. Like ive said in other threads...I go by feel mostly.
I have oodles of other pieces from other reknown makers that I intentionally bought that are not for sale. Some original, some from contemporary makers. In this area of collecting I'm focused more on Michael McHugh pieces and pieces from my own work. I'm just thinning out the odds and ends to justify something on a wheeled carriage with multiple barrels that you crank by hand (we cant speak of those new fangled pieces here
) so instead of buying I'm just moving things around
