C 1973-77 U.S.A Weaver Microtrak K2.5-1 20mm Zoom Telescopic Sight. OPT 851. - OPT 851
William Ralph Weaver was born in 1905 and established the W.R. Weaver Co. in a small shop in Newport, Kentucky, in 1930. He built his first scope by hand and soon began offering a simple 3/4-inch tube 3X model, originally called the 3-30 (3X 1930). The design was smaller, lighter, and, best of all, much less expensive than the imported German scopes of the day. This early model offered excellent value for the money, which would become a trait of Weaver scopes, and sold well. With two workers and a truck packed with equipment, Bill Weaver moved to a larger facility in El Paso, Texas, in 1933 and began his quest to produce riflescopes made entirely in the U.S. W.R. Weaver would eventually expand until it employed some 600 workers at its height in the 1960s. Maj. George Nonte stated that in the late 1960s half the scopes built in the U.S. bore the W.R. Weaver logo. Measuring 26 ½ cm in length with broad and thin cross hairs and mounts. There are very minor age-related marks to the body. The lenses are in in perfect condition. The price for this scarce retro scope and mounts includes UK delivery. OPT 851.

Early 1800’s Spanish Form Miquelet Lock Blunderbuss Belt Pistol Marked ‘ARI MA FMR’. Sn 22284 - 22284
Miquelet lock is a modern term used by collectors and curators, largely in the English-speaking world, for a type of firing mechanism used in muskets and pistols. It is a distinctive form of snaplock, originally as a flint-against-steel ignition form, once prevalent in Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Balkans, North Africa, the Ottoman Empire and throughout Spain's colonies from the late 16th to the mid 19th Centuries. The miquelet may have come to the attention of arms makers in Istanbul & North Africa via long-established trade routes from Italian city-states through the port of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) to provinces on the Balkan Peninsula. Other avenues were probably provided by booty from corsair raids and/or from the many Ottoman-Euro conflicts of the period. This is a Miquelet lock percussion blunderbuss belt pistol in Spanish form made sometime in the early 19th Century. It is 14” overall length with an 8” 2 stage round to octagonal barrel which has tooled wedding bands at transition. Its flared muzzle diameter is approx. 1”. Its smooth bore is clean. The barrel also has Fluer-de-lis, cross, crown, and "ARI / MA / FMR" marked over the breech. Its Spanish Miquelet style lock decorated with geometrics.
