All are reproductions.Nice, identification please. I'm a bit shaky on those old smoke poles.
Flintlocks:
Top is a Tulle Fusil de Chasse circa 1730s French smoothbore.
Second from top is a custom Virginia School rifled flintlock, it twern't cheap........
Bottom Flintlock is a Pedersoli Pennsylvania I built from a kit.
The Pistol is a .54 caliber Pedersoli Kentucky Pistol I also built from a kit.
The bottom most rifle on the same rack is a reproduction 1874 Cavalry Sharps Carbine in 45-70.
The Percussion:
Right side is an Investarms "Hawken" style rifle. I reworked it and put more historically correct furniture on it.
The left side is a Lyman Plains Rifle, I reworked the stock to make it more historically correct.
The two Colts are 1860 Army (.44 caliber, both Piettas), one with a fluted cylinder & the other with a standard cylinder.
The hawk is a smoking hawk and functional as a tool or weapon. The other hawk buried underneith it is a typical trade hawk.
Of the two swords the one hanging on the left is a reproduction 1700s Court sword and the one lower right, kinda sort visible is a reproduction 1600s rapier.
Thanks. I had 4 others that I sold to help pay for other guns. I also have a 1970s Hopkins & Allen that I did an almost complete rework on it, all proper brass furniture, slimmed the forestock then leaned it up against a table and it fell over on the concrete garage floor snapping the Frizzen in two. The frizzen is the part covering the flash pan the flint strikes and sets off the powder. No H&A locks available any more but the people at Track of the Wolf helped me find a Frizzen that was close enough to work with some fitting. Still working on that. However I might buy an inletted Transitional Kentucky stock with Davis Jaeger lock and move everything over to that stock for much more authentic piece.I stand in awe.
Also considering that for the Pedersoli Pennsylvania with a Lehiegh County stock & L & R Durs Egg lock to also make it more historically correct. Might have to replace the triggers on both also but that's further down the line as each switch over would cost me around $350.
