    Lepage target pistol

    This is my Lepage pistol. As you would expect, it has a set trigger. The woodwork shows it was not always cared for.

    A pretty little pocket pistol.

    I thought I ought to give my pistol by Beckhuson of Oxford an airing. It dates from the 1840s. I particularly like the captive rammer.

    Another underhammer pistol

    This is my underhammer pistol by Westwood (actually of Birmingham I understand). I feel it is quite an elegant design.

    A neat percussion conversion.

    I thought people might be interested to see a rather neat flintlock to percussion conversion. The pistol is a Henry Nock (1741 - 1804) boxlock. The cock has been converted leaving a barely discernible join.

    Wrapped up in paper and string.

    Having posted a picture of my Beattie transitional revolver, I decided to have a quick Google of the maker and came across a site dealing with proceedings at the Old Bailey - https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/print.jsp?div=t18480228-826.

    A seasonal thought from Scotland.

    Thinking about New Year toasts on the occasion of Hogmanay, it struck me that one was particularly appropriate for this august forum. I propose Lang may your lum reek. This translates to "Long may your chimney smoke". One and all, please accept this heartfelt wish from Scotland.

    What would the Rev Forsyth think?

    An idle thought. What would Alexander Forsyth make of people still hunting with flintlocks 200+ years after he invented his scent bottle lock to overcome their shortcomings?

    Grice blunderbuss

    I have been pleased to see the blunderbuss still has fans. What I like about this one is that it is obviously a working piece but there is some restrained engraving to stop it being too plain. The lock is engraved Grice. I have to resist the temptation to polish all that lovely brass.

    The most elegant 51 Navy?

    In my opinion, this is the most elegant of the 51 Navies, the second model squareback. I have been encouraged to share, so here are a couple of pictures which I hope the forum will appreciate.

    Hello from North Britain.

    Hello from north of the border (with England). Lucky to have had a father who collected between the wars, could not afford to start now!
