    SOLD - Pending funds Capote Coat, Men's M/L

    An Early Miquelet Wall Gun

    Thought a few of you might like to see this one. Belongs to a collector friend. To me, the most interesting parts being the lock plate and butt stock. Carry-overs from the wheellock period. And note the sear/trigger bar assembly. That trigger bar piece being the same as the missing part...

    Scandinavian Lock Mystery Solved

    Hello ALL. Here is a Thread I posted almost 4 years ago. Some of you may remember. While this beautiful, original lock was in new condition, there was a mystery. There was no trigger bar/sear assembly to move the sear spring inward to release the cock for firing. And there was no fixture or...

    Indian Torador Matchlock Musket Bore

    I just found this short video that shows a camera going down the bore. At the end of the travel, you can see what's called the narrow section, then travels to the larger powder chamber at the breech end. First time I've seen this on film. The barrel of my Torador musket originally looked like...
