I just have Ordnance Survey app, about £20 a year, landranger, explorer, road maps, airiel photos. 1st class.

I think without a bayonet it'll not sell. Or of course you could go all out and buy a Johnny Seven

Interesting, the ones I don't think I can save are all the London pattern. The striker tool was in with another set, rusted beyond redemption and the handle soft but the brass collar is intact. Thanks for that picture, its helped.

My son has a 410 Mossberg Hushpower pump action. Its quiet enough but subsonic make little or no difference. I have a very old begian 410 moderated, never used subsonic so can't comment, but with 2" 9g 6s its quiet enough.

Unfortunately I tend to agree on this, although I recce and shoot regularly my biggest bag of pigeon has been about 12 from memory. My sons biggest I think was 41, he was maybe 1/2 mile from me at the time (think I had 4). He's a better shot than me but nevertheless, they're either incoming or not. Quite correct, and just to add the more you shoot the luckier your shots become.😆

Ok thanks, I thought it might be too much to hope for it was real. Never mind, it'll go with loads of other age related tools. 👍

Growing up this was known by grandad as his gun makers screwdriver. Never saw him use it on anything but a gun. I know most tools back then were made in Sheffield and there was a Sheffield gun maker. (I tried to buy a Sheffield hammer SBS gun at auction). Anyone shed any light on this ? It formed part of a set of 3, unfortunately the others had perished in a mouldy bag.

The picture of mine is definitely American from his dress, but I would say the other one is British by the hat and puttees. I also think the rifle is an Enfield. Interesting how they came up with differant things.

Maybe look at the smaller auctions. I watched an on line auction live as I intend to bid. Unfortunately I underestimated the Internet time lag and my bid was rejected after the hammer down. I was shocked at the amount of guns not bid on. A Cooey model 84 (i have one, so roughly aware of value) opening ask £10. No bids, hammer down, unsold. Army & Navy English hammer gun, opening ask £50, reduced to its reserve £40, no bids, hammer down, unsold. It went on like that all day. Guns going for as little as £8. Many just unsold. Obviously I have no idea of condition but its my belief they can't be sold if out of proof. It was my first live on line auction, so mainly I sat observing and learning.

I must be very young then, or posh🤣 our meter was a shilling, and mum went mental when they changed it. ...and yes, all in the past now.

Just out of interest has anyone seen one of these before. I'm reasonably familiar with WW1 trench periscopes and also Lee Enfield rifles. But this is new on me. I gather this is American? Every day a school day, willing to learn anything about this.

They do just search Miroku on evil Bay. There are vests, stickers, gun slips, badges and loads of associated junk to browse. All of genuine factory Miroku and all rare. 🤣🌝🌝

Anything but rain, my perm is so waterlogged.

Thanks but no loss, long boring story. Miss my grandad more, but this knife I've never seen before, despite it being in one of his old bags.

Yup a bargain and not far from me. Not mobile enough to fetch at the moment and my son is in Scotland on business or he passes j29 every day. If no takes them after Xmas, can we negotiate for some cold turkey sandwiches and if its a hard bargain I can throw in a Curly Wurly. We both have SGC so can collect, just not now, sorry.

Oh dear, fancy only buying a 3 gun cabinet, far too small. Best order a 6 gun to fit at the side of it.

Sorry for your loss, dogs are a huge part of the family

The 1960/70 could be possible as I have no memory of this knife and it belonged supposedly to my Grandad, passed to my father who let most of grandads stuff rot. My father died on Wednesday and I've been given the rubbish that's going to landfill to sort for anything I want. If the knife was 60s/70s new i would have no knowledge of it i was dis owned by then.

Nah thats finished anyway, an old mucker from moons ago recently retired and spent his days sending them to me, well the ones I could post anyway. Now at 70 odd he's just taken a new assignment in Africa for 3 months hunting poachers😂

No idea mucker, when I first saw it I thought it was Hitler Youth till I realised the guy in the etching is waving a hat, not giving a nazi salute. It was in an old leather tank shell bag, used as a hunting bag. Knife was well wrapped in oiled cloth, but bag was mouldy and everything else in it rotten. I've been given quite a lot of worthless or semi worthless stuff to sort. I have some 1940s/50s possibly older tools to sort in several old tool boxes plus a few bags of "stuff" destined for landfill. Most of it can go as I have no sentimental reasons to keep. My favourite so far is a hobbing foot and a very old dirty gunmakers screwdriver. Oh and some scrap gold rings cut in half🤔

It's probably why I was given them and quite a lot of other stuff. No value. Mind you, I got a lovely old hobbing foot, again no value but I remember my grandad using it to repair leather soled boots, so in time it'll go to my grandkids.

Hydrochloric Acid 🤣 and before someone without a sense of humour jumps in..... No obviously not Hydrochloric acid and don't drink it either.

I had no idea he was in a chair. Most if not all of my hide shooting is from seated. Begara seat if I think I need a swivel or a half day. Big fishing armchair if its a day session or my son will carry it😁

Good to hear, I'm sure my dealer will have them soon. I'll try a box. I'm used to Lylevale in 410 & 12 and have been told they're punchier than the equivalent others, but you get used to what you use. How did you find them for leaving muck in the barrel ?

Hopefully many many years before we have to give up lead altogether
