    1821 flintlock/percussion convertion

    50 Cal, You really have been a great deal of help. Now that I know its French I have learned a lot more in looking at other examples. To me it looks like an update to the French "AN IX" Cavalry Pistol, 1801 the big difference being the attached swivel ram rod. I’m guessing that it was made...

    1821 flintlock/percussion convertion

    Hello everyone, I am hoping that you folks could help me with this piece I bought a while back. It came to me through a gunsmith friend from an estate and since the owner had died the history of it was lost. I am trying to find out more about it, what its value may be and most importantly how...

    Hello from VA

    Hello every one, my name is Jim and I'm from the great commonwealth of Virginia. For the most part I've been into mostly modern firearm, but I have always loved a good flintlock and think I might want to learn this skill. I have also recently acquired an old 1821 percussion cap pistol that I...
