BTW, Nando. Can you post some pics of the muskets adorning your den?

: )

Those are not muskets but two pistols and a blunderbuss (bacamarte for me and trabuco for you).
... Nothing new, only the items i have already massacred the forum with.

Nice seeing them again, nonetheless. Specially the small pistol.

How about the mosqueton/carabina on the tripod..?

You already know that one:

BTW, the tripod is also an antique; American stuff, i believe, made in 1946.

It reminds me again of my trabuco: Its brass barrel is a modern replacement and has a _screw_ instead of a breech plug. Everything else from the weapon feels and looks legit, the wood stock, the BB type action. It even has signs of having been fired.

I think it was modified for use in a (expletive) pirate movie of the 50s, darn follywood. Even the lock screws were replaced. Might be Indian-made, though.
