No, the whole collection is the property of me and a friend of mine. I made a small catalogue that shows most of the pistols of the Exhibition.

As you can see from the Queen Annes they are all made during the reign of Queen Anne between 1701 and 1714, so they are real Quen-Anne pistols. Why this design has been in use far later and up to today might have to do with the lack of knowledge of its history. Especially in France all boxlock pistols are today called "Queen Annes".

Hello Corrado

You could say that is the artifact of post No. 9, second photograph? Thank you

I am very sorry but I cannot understand your question. Post #9 foto #2 shows two purses, a Boxlock pistol and the advice of a German travel writer to visitors of England to carry always two purses: The important one directly at the body and another smaller one for the highwayman.

Hello, Corrado
In my humble opinion, this is not a gun, but any appliance with a purpose not decipher. My question related to this. Thank you

While trying to navigate through the barrage of photos, I think that by the image indicated, the item referred to looks like a sort of 'lighter' ...as in a tinder lighter or the sort?

Hi all

I think here there has been confusion in both responses corrado as Mc. Dougall. The photo to which I refer is the second post number 9, no to the third. I continue with the incognira

I guess this is what I mean by a long line of photos all lumped together with no point of reference for discussion or questions. I still have no idea what item is being referenced. An absolutely outstanding collection! and it would be great to learn more from the items.
