bifter Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I recently bought a Wilkinson flintlock from around 1780's era! Cost £700, but is a brass, iron & walnut beauty. '15mm' balls & has been well looked after. I always have loved the 'romantic' brutality of antique weaponry. Each one a work of art! I also found a battered but very ornate '17mm' ball Italian flintlock with Roman numerls '1720' along the lock. It was still loaded. I would not want to be shot with one of these. They were very 'dirty' weapons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I missed this post for some reason but I'm glad I ran onto it now. Any chance of photos of your new finds. They sound most interesting. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
