Sharpe Flintlock

[btech]

Anybody ever hear of these flintlocks? Was there ever reproductions of the locks made?

Do you mean the Flintlock Rifles from the "Sharpe's Rifles" BBC television program? If so, they were British Baker Rifles.

Oh, on that television series, they also had one Soldier who carried a "Nock's Volley Gun." Sorry for the WIKI references, but they will give you an idea.

PS In John Wayne's Movie about the Alamo, Richard Widmark carried a Nock's Volley Gun, but I've never heard any documentation to support that.

I found a flintlock lock and all it says on it is "Sharpe" and no other markings. It looks like it might be old.

Thanks for the added information. That certainly changes things. Can you post a picture or give a detailed description of the lock?

Never mind, I missed it.

Is this the one you were looking at?

Well, the forum would not accept the link, so was it the .62 caliber flintlock pistol from Rock Island auctions?
