steve_b_wales Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 You could contact David Baker who writes articles for Sporting Gun magazine. He helped me identify an old flintlock pistol many years ago. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel100 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Ben, What do you mean by 'old'? Are you talking muzzle-loading or, breech-loading? If breech-loading, rifle or shotgun? I might be able to point you in the right direction. I'm secretary of the Northern members group of the Historical Breechloading Smallarms Association, which has a monthly lecture programme at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. We have members with a diverse range of interests and if it's a breech-loader 'we' should be able to help. Either via here or PM, if you prefer. Kind regards Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
