    Belgian Pistol - Help?

    That's a beautiful pistol, my friend. It's so neat to hold these things and just imagine where it has been and what it has seen. I'm also quite certain that the barrel on mine is real Damascus as you can run your finger down the barrel and feel the striations. It's a beautiful barrel...

    Belgian Pistol - Help?

    Fantastic! Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. Do you have any idea on a potential value? I'm estimating something in the neighborhood of $800-$1000 but that's a complete guess based on a handful of completed auctions. That being said, I have no intention of selling it...

    Belgian Pistol - Help?

    All, I have in my possession what I believe to be a Belgian Traveller's Pistol. It is absolutely gorgeous and in superb shape to boot (aside from the percussion cap nipple being broken)! I am very pleased to have it, but it's proven to be quite the little puzzle. I've been attempting to ID...

    US Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle

    I just finished disassembling the rifle and oiling it down. Everything is in surprisingly good shape for as long as it sat without being cared for. There is a very small crack in the stock near where the brass "L" is, but it doesn't look as though it'll be able to spread. The bore took a fair...

    US Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that in my last reply. I cleared and deemed the rifle safe as soon as I laid hands on it. I will send an email to OGCA right now. I would absolutely love to shoot the rifle, but how much will a reline affect the historical value? I won't ruin the history in this...

    US Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle

    Thank you all for the wonderful information. I haven't done anything with the rifle yet because I was afraid to even oil it.. I'm very particular with my rifles and the rusty bore has been killing me! I'll find the proper brush to get it cleaned and oiled as soon as possible. Is it possible...

    US Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle

    Bob: I'm located in Mechanicsburg so you're only a short drive down the road. If you have any knowledge of these rifles I'd appreciate that very much. I have emails in to some large companies who specialize in this type of firearm, but it would be great to learn about the rifle one-on-one.

    US Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle

    Due to a series of unfortunate events within my family I have recently inherited some interesting rifles; one such rifle is this US Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle (pics). I am very much into classic and modern cartridge-fed firearms but I don't know the first thing about muzzleloaders, especially...
