Hi all
Thanks to a pervious post on A York Mail blunderbuss I have saved a good bit of money http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=blunderbuss The attached blunderbuss has just sold at an auction in Ireland I went to view over the weekend and on comparing the two I was confident this is a recent reproduction as per post above Things to look out for Not one screw was rounded anywhere Font on Cork Mail not square No wear on the stock chequering No makers mark on the lock proof marks did not make sence and a few other small things Incidentally the safety did not work and the sear was not engaging with the nice click noise With a bit of improving on the workmanship it would be hard to distinguish Note also the Fly or Die on the end of the barrel, which shows recent tooling marks on the inside I hope this thread is appropriate as I just want to alert others to these items Best regards Ken Last edited by Kmaddock; 5th September 2016 at 07:41 PM. |
