Oh my friend !!!
So that's why you have been absent for the last couple weeks ?
How come we didn't know what happened before?
I and the forum wish your quick recovery ... and an even quicker pain relief.

Beautiful examples all, and per most definitions I've seen in...yes, auction guides and sites, as well as books (Warren's Rev War Weapons comes to mind), all of the 'type' Queen Anne, being wooden grips either rounded or flat-cheek types embellished with wire, cannon-style barrels typically of twist-off type, dating up to 1780 or so (long after Queen Anne's reign). The smaller ones were carried in many a sea captain's great pockets for shore leave, when ruffians in alleys tried to rob sailors returning to the taverns. The larger types also popular naval weapons (Gilkerson's Boarders Away 2).
