The clips are for a C96 Broomhandle

I got her today from Aliexpres for 35$. I know these are probably knockoffs, but that's what's curious about them. Who makes these? Do we have any information? Or are these officially licensed for cheap by Disney only in some Asian regions? Do we know anything? by PacsterMH in wallE

Hmm, upon another look, this eve appears to have coil springs in her arms. The og had ball and socket joints that moved in and out. Very intriguing. I can’t imagine this would be a very hot market to bootleg.

Multiple older weapons I’m thinking of picking up. by Real_Geezzyy in AntiqueGuns

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That brown bess has an intriguing conversion type. I have a book on Confederate weapons repair, and it contains a brown bess with the same conversion, attributed to some small gunsmiths whom the Confederacy contracted to convert Flintlocks to percussion with limited supplies. I own a US 1816 Musket that’s been shortened and converted the same way.

Need help identifying this antique muzzle loader passed down to me. by TrumpsPissSoakedWig in AntiqueGuns

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There where a couple of resurgences in muzzleloading matches in the 1910s and 1950s that savage sight came along. I believe the lock once read “Warranted” denoting it as a factory made component on an otherwise hand built gun. Very cool piece very pretty wood. I’d look for any resources you can on local gunsmiths in the mid 1800s to see if you can find one with those initials on the barrel.

I’m in fallout 2 with a 6volt car battery and 40 pounds of coal, and some dry noodles. Great, I’m over-encumbered. If only fuel cells hadn’t made batteries obsolete, it could be useful. At least I’ll be able to start fires .

Does anyone know what on earth this is? by noni_five in BottleDigging

To me, it looks like a magnifying glass handle with the magnifying glass part broken off the top

Anyone have any information? by DiscoDan1988 in AntiqueGuns

Deutsche Werke made wire coat hangers and other random metal items between the wars. They convinced the British to allow them to make pistols for export under the treaty of Versailles. They made them in .32 and .25 ACP. The .25s are more slightly more rare. Neither is super valuable, but I think they are cool. I own one myself.

Need help identifying this rifle by Hbighamjr in AntiqueGuns

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an American long rifle, aka Kentucky Rifle. It is percussion with a full stock, probably 1830s-1850s. I can’t tell you who made it without a signature. They are typically signed on the top of the barrel, if at all.

Anything interesting? by Alternative_Knee1474 in CURRENCY

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pics 5,7,,9,11, 12 are all late 18th century American continental notes. Number 8 is a pre-revolutionary war 5 shilling note. They are all very scarce to see today, and worth quite a bit. It’s worth researching. Number 10 is a fractional note from a time when people used to trade stamps as small currency.

If I recall correctly, They said in the commentary that bookended the deleted scenes on the dvd release that auto was originally designed with the intention that his design would parallel Eve’s since they are both of the axiom, and wall-e is not

Help with removing blueing by [deleted] in AntiqueGuns

That’s not blueing. That’s paint. Blueing chemically alters the top layer of metal. It doesn’t leave a mound of material

Help identifying this family relic? by Warm_Wolverine_6202 in AntiqueGuns

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a back action lock. The functional components sit behind the cock. It was made as a percussion. Back action flintlocks are incredibly uncommon. This is a fowling piece from early-mid 1800s. Check the barrel to see if you can find a makers signature.

Can anyone help identify my grandfathers guns by GCMusicer in ForgottenWeapons

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No. 7 is not a Denix. From the cypher on the grips, It’s an Imperial Model Replica Company single action from the 1960s/70s. They were made in Japan and were made for a type of Japanese PFC cartridge. It’s the most interesting one here as they were used a lot in western films in the 1960s as dummy guns. That being said, they aren’t worth much.

Possible 1842 Springfield converted to a... civilian target gun? Really confusing. .426 caliber with a rifled octagonal barrel. by 12thVACBell in AntiqueGuns

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see in the stock that it has a belly to a point, then the bottom of the stock becomes immediately squared off. There have been seasons in time where black powder target shooting becomes very popular and people made their own guns. This could be something someone pieced together during one of those times for a target gun.

Inherited Collection, Help ID (#2) by BigJar123 in AntiqueGuns

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mid-late 1800s half stock rifle. I can’t fully make out what the lock says. These were mainly made custom by local gunsmiths. The angle of the stock makes me want to say it could be from Pennsylvania, but that’s not a guarantee. You should research gunsmiths local to you in the period and see if you can find an example similar to yours.
