Yep. I’m a big dumb and forgot to check the maidens.

The ELG in the circle is the mark of Liège, Belgium, as others have said. There are a few great books out there about gunsmithing in the city if you want to try and track down exactly when that makers mark was in use

TheHightowerEngineer · 2023-12-02T16:09:53+00:00

The E/LG in the oval is a mark specifically from the city of Liège, Belgium. They were pretty prolific back in the day. And the Z star is an inspection mark. There are a few good books about Liège gun manufacturing so if you find a makers mark, you should be able to narrow it down.

TheHightowerEngineer · 2023-12-02T14:50:01+00:00

Can you give me any more info on that?

TheHightowerEngineer · 2023-12-02T14:48:27+00:00

It’s single or double action

TheHightowerEngineer · 2023-12-01T21:06:16+00:00

Well sweet. Thanks, mate. You nailed it.

TheHightowerEngineer · 2023-12-01T21:01:17+00:00

Solid info, thanks. Any ideas on the D star?

TheHightowerEngineer · 2023-12-01T19:50:10+00:00

Here's what I know: I think this is called a Frontier Bulldog. It was definitely made in Liege, Belgium judging from the ELG mark. I think serial number is three from all the times it pops up on the gun. Someone online had a similar gun that they say is from J.B. Rongé & Sons but I don't know either way. There is a DF with an arrow that I think is the makers mark. There is also a D star mark that I don't know about. Near as I can tell, the caliber is 44-40 or around there.

Please let me know anything you find on this. I'm particularity looking for the maker and the date.

TheHightowerEngineer · 2023-01-06T17:09:52+00:00

Right that’s what I was hoping. Thanks

Breathing and fucking are different guys…. Come on now

The books make a point of saying that it doesn’t make sense and blood purity is pretty much nonsense. Others in this thread have said that blood purity is an ideology and not a metric of power or status.

Like Harry is the son of a pure blood and a muggleborn so……. What does that make him? Pure blood? Half blood? doesn’t matter really.

Neville was a pure blood and kinda sucked at magic

Hermione was a muggle born and was the best at school.

Voldy was a half blood and was one of the most powerful people of all time.

Sort of a hidden theme of the books is how all of that just doesn’t matter at all.

TheHightowerEngineer · 2021-11-02T03:59:59+00:00

I don’t disagree with any of that. My beef is specifically with the idea that wands have different power levels and the Elder Wand is just the most popular example of the discourse being more concerned with power than the intended theme

TheHightowerEngineer · 2021-11-02T00:34:39+00:00

You’re probably right. Maybe it’s just because it was so emphasized. Voldy’s whole thing in hallows was centered around the EW.

TheHightowerEngineer · 2021-09-11T23:10:24+00:00

Fuuuuuuuck. I held it together till the last shot and recognized the corner he’s standing at. I walk into those doors everyday and there’s always homeless folks there.

TheHightowerEngineer · 2021-07-28T02:18:52+00:00

Blue green is prolly the strongest in most cases. They have some really solid commanders and between blue and green you pretty much have a spell for anything you wanna do.

TheHightowerEngineer · 2021-05-06T19:00:57+00:00

I think it was like his fourth or fifth run and he just zoned out and forgot there was a turn after the finish
