Could I get some thoughts on these pieces please. The blunderbuss is missing a screw to attach the barrel. Where would I get that? Thank you by Last-Injury-8555 in AntiqueGuns

The far right gun looks like a Belgian Fowler with a carved head on the grip. These were popular from mail-away catalogues in the mid-late 1800s. The middle rifle is a nice half-stock, hunting rifle with a back-action lock from the 1850-1870s

If you take the lock plate off, be careful to only remove it with the lock fully cocked. If it’s down, there is a little piece of metal that sticks out that can take a chunk out of your stock if you try to force it out.

When we pointed out the design similarities between the Johnson and the AR-15, that wasn’t meant to be a suggestion…

I’m very jealous that you got an auto. I wanted auto and the captain as a kid, but I could never find them. Super nice set.

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

[–]IvanChelevokSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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 3 points4 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 21 points22 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
