    Mark identification on snaphaunce breech

    Rick Thank you, that makes sense. Marks are very roughly done on reflection, I imagine a European gunsmith may well have taken more care/pride in the marking. I’ll look closer but in meantime my thanks for your advice. Dan.

    Mark identification on snaphaunce breech

    Hi all I have a North African snaphaunce which having just cleaned it up has these marks on the left hand side of the breech. Anybody able to shed any light on them please? Looks like crowns over X, which is curious given its North African origin. Thanks in advance. Dan.

    Pair of pistols in dual holster

    Rick Thanks for the welcome and information. I’m hopefully going to have them in hand later in the week.
