    Odd probably French musket

    I bought this with the double barrel I sold thinking it was a 1777. Now I'm not so certain but it could be more interesting. The side plate, butt plate, stock and barrel band all look 1777. The trigger guard is similar but is one piece instead of two and has no finger ridges. Barrel has a pin...

    SOLD Antique double barrel percussion shotgun ca 1850s

    Nice wall hanger as it is with potential to be a good project for shooting. I believe it is 12 gauge but measuring it without a caliper I was right around .75 so it could be 10 gauge, but probably 12. I have no idea why the upper piece between the barrels (I knew the wood until I started writing...

    SOLD Walnut bowl made from a house built in the 1820s including locust peg

For fun today thought I would experiment with the peg end and I think it turned out really cool. $65 including Continental US shipping. I will accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or you can always mail a...

    WITHDRAWN Large mid 1700s pistol blunderbuss project, engraved

    This is a pretty fabulous ca 1750s German pistol with nice engraving. Unfortunately it needs some work. My price probably doesn't even cover the parts individually. Interesting and very pretty wood. Maybe some kind of burl? The pistol is over 20" long. The barrel is 13.5" and flares at the end...

    Any help identifying this butt plate and trigger guard?

    TG looks like the early 1700s Dutch musket but those are in iron. I do believe they are Dutch with those two big screws but I can't find the model/era.

    WANTED Brown Bess side plate

    Any chance anyone on here has an original Long Land or Short Land Brown Bess side plate? I have originals of each and both came without locks. I have since found locks but need the side plates to go with. I realize I can get them at rifle shoppe but would like original if at all possible. Can't...

    And my new Italian miquelet carbine

    Ca mid 17th century. This musket is a beast. I think it likely started out as a wall gun and was shortened for heavy cavalry use. In those days I believe the front breastplate was often "prooved' with a pistol ball to make sure it was thick enough to stop a bullet. The answer to that would be a...

    My new wheelock

    Got a very fun package in the mail yesterday from Czerny's. I hadn't had a wheelock in a number of years so I sold a bunch of stuff for this auction and got one. I believe it is second quarter of the 17th century ca 1640s but I welcome your input. I got it with the miquelet carbine and lock...

    Here's a fun early Roman style miquelet with Spanish influence, Southern Italy?

    I believe this to be mid 17th century. It's early and large. The shape of the lock and general styling looks like the Roman style but the way the cock sits on the stops that runs through the plate it is Spanish in style as is the main spring. The last photo to compare a Roman miquelet of the...

    Comparing an American made fusil from the Revolutionary period and a Liege Brown Bess

    I got this Libertas marked American fusil in the mail yesterday and am dying to get the rust cleaned up. At first I thought it had a British lock but the Galton engraving is far too crude. Too wide an engraving tool. It has Libertas engraved under a rough crown made with dots, no idea why...

    SOLD Small walnut treenware container

    SOLD 8" American Chestnut bowl made from a joist in a 200+ year old house

    House was built in 1819. The last floor joist I salvaged was heart pine. This one is Chestnut I believe. Smells like chestnut. A neat feature of this early wood, notice the raw board has straight cut lines not from a circular saw. It's possible it's from a water powered up and down sawmill but...

    SOLD Late 17th century flintlock musket

    As you can see there is some room for improvement. The forearm is cut and there is a gap between lock and barrel. Barrel is a three stage with two sets of wedding bands but the original removed lugs do not match up with the stock. Impressed they found this good a match honestly. Barrel is 42"...

    I'd love some help with identifying this

    I may have posted this years ago but can't remember and can't find it. I presume this is a musket made during the Napoleonic Wars and as a time saving measure the rear barrel band holds everything together. I saw a lock on Czernys Auction several years ago from Dutch East India Company that had...

    SOLD Honey pot made from a house built in 1819

    I cut up another white oak log from the falling down house I am salvaging from. This one is older than the last one. The outer edge was difficult to count the rings since it is the soft wood and badly deteriorated but there is over 130 years of growth in this honey pot. That means the center of...

    FOR SALE Percussion American long rifle with patchbox, project

    Bore is smooth and a little under .50. barrel is 30" long. Condition as shown. Took a ding in shipping that broke the stock and bent the tang. Didn't come with a lock but I'll include one I have that fits decently but only one side screw and I'll throw in a modern lock plate with two screws so...

    FOR SALE Antique American flintlock rifle barrel

    I see no signs of a cut off barrel lug or threads so I believe this is original flint though the hole is bigger than most. Tang is broken. I didn't clean the bore much but enough to get a look down without spider webs or anything and the rifling seems pretty strong still. It is .50 cal from...

    I'd like to get your opinions on this presumably early Roman miquelet

    I got this on the mail yesterday from Czerny's Auction. I believe it to be original from ca mid-1600s. It has had repairs around the lock and forestock. Interesting that the shape of the Italian miquelet lock inletting seems more modern. I suspect it had one of those early locks with the...
