I bought this, in a Lot of two firearms at Rock Island. I really wanted ‘A’ as it was a cunning, Pirate Era, Spanish Miquelet lock to fit a gun inside a Treasure Chest… if a thief turned the wrong key, or the wrong way… he gets SHOT ! I’ll include a picture from Rock Island, as I’m sure You’re interested. If you want to import with me, let me know… but it’s far more expensive than buying the same guns in NZ. Importing is only good for Unique or EXPENSIVE guns, like a LORENZONI, or a neat little Flintlock Cadet Musket (todays project).

Here’s the Rock Island page…

Two Antique Firearms -A) Very Unusual Miquelet Lock Security Gun. $3,000 B) North & Couch Disc Hammer Percussion Volley Pistol.

Can be triggered with the Spur Trigger, or by Tugging on a cord tied on the front, (you can see where to tie) like a trap gun for a fox. So it’d be a very useful pistol in the US or NZ gold rush days. Disc Hammer… unique ? One photo with tape, is in Fired position. All 6 barrels fire at once from a Single percussion cap. Like a Ducks Foot volley gun.

If you collect odd and interesting guns… this is IT ! No Licence needed as it’s a Genuine Antique. Pick up ! Or sent for $60. Other listings: Snider. Colt. Revolver. Flintlock. Blunderbuss
