Thank you Felt Wad . The butt stock of the top M lock is its main feature ,The brass end flask has no rational time period décor.. But do'se show the brass dragon fettled from an electrical lump of brass .Note the steel extended flattened Scots flask this is made with a square hole spanner to tighten the flint jaws on the Snaphance rifle shown in the photoed page . The rifle a 45 cal used for hunting here . The cheek stock carbine is ' English lock' last form as it the Mulberry stocked Blunder buss with a dog only other items of note are the adapted needle case primer & the horn charger topped primer once called' a Bogey'! if not by me .Tts a piece of antelope of some African sort .with a Dixon top . Oh the thick feather in the M Lock trigger spring is to adjust the engagement of the scear nose . The horn pins simpley to guide my fingers to hold the stock better .
Regards & all hail Felt Wad ,
Rudyard,
PS the scratty old ' Duck canvas' hunting bag is showing a lot bush miles since I made years ago , Mostly it has compass a 'Marble' type match box, sewing stuff , a lens and a P 38 tin (GI one) opener , besides tinder box, glasses case , & other junk like bits of rubber balloon or inner tube to start a reluctant fire. Incidentally I once bought one of these' Marble' type water proof match boxes . But finding it too hard to open took it back the the sports shop in Quesnel BC. The shop keeper exchanged it but didn't want the faulty one . So as I was hitching south of town I though to open it and wrote a note & put it inside closed it and layed in the graven where just such as I would certainly find it & struggle to open it to find my note that read ' "Yes I had a trouble opening it too!'
