beautiful weapons, however, the specified restoration costs seem to me very high. Some are even higher than the value of the restored weapon!
A professional restoration is possible for a fraction of the price.

minor niggles;
inv 1250 1251, this pair of Wheelock pistols has been unfortunately over-cleaned and over-polished after the restauration.
inv 310 the Hungarian saber 17th c is a north African nimcha 19thC.
inv 1306 JJ Behr, this pair comes from Maasticht or Liege
inv 1338 1339 looks at first sight a typical Dutch pair, probably Utrecht.
