I would agree that these are repros.
The flintlock is an original C18th piece, with the crown and small GR marking, as well as a makers mark I can`t recall at the moment. It is in bad shape though. The ramrod is fused to the body, the woodwork is cracked, spring broken and the internal mechanism seized completely.
I have done my job though of restoring all pieces to presentable display condition. |
