Holy smokes - beautiful finds!

Thanks--the bottom one has a false rammer

 

[Ol' Flinter]

Is the upper one a Miquelet type lock or what? All the guts appear to be on the outside of the lock plate.

 

[jpc]

"Miquelet type lock"

Yes it is and likely copied by the Eastern Craftsmen

Still functions fine

ARRRRRR!

Matey, you be showing us these honest seafaring pistols on Talk like a pirate day, you landlubbing scurvy bilge rat! If you can't show us more details, we'll have you dance the hornpipe on a plank till you drop and feed the sharks, arrrr!

(they're damned fine pieces! Closeups of the actions and engravings, pretty please?)

 

[jpc]

Last pictures show the 'false rammer'

 

[Grawfr]

Thanks Captain! Those are truly beautiful pieces, must be worth a chest or two of shiny newly-minted doubloons! And they look like they've seen some use too, probably again those Spaniard dogs off Port Royal.

Now I feel a need to hoist me sail and follow me bowsprit on the warm roiling seas! And if I miss the wind or tide, well, matey, it's never too early for a warm grog or three, aye? Where's that bilge-damned letter of marque again? And which one of you jackstaff-polishing deck-swabbers has a spare parrot?

 

[Musketfire]

Marvellous!! Sir you always find the most amazing arms!!
