**ORNATE**LARGE**Early 19th Century North African / Turkish Ottoman / Moroccan/ Arabic 32 Bore Snaphance Or Snaphaunce Lock Musket With German Silver Decorated Furniture & Sling. Sn 23004 - 23004 A snaphance or snaphaunce is a type of lock for firing a gun or is a gun using that mechanism. The name is Dutch in origin but the mechanism cannot be attributed to the Netherlands with certainty. It is the mechanical progression of the wheellock firing mechanism, and along with the miquelet lock and dog lock are predecessors of the flintlock mechanism. It fires from a flint struck against a striker plate above a steel pan to ignite the priming powder which fires the gun. Examples of this firearm can be found through Europe, Turkey, North Africa, and the Middle East. The muzzle loading weapons were generally handmade weapons, and consequently they widely varied in their construction. They were seen as very personal weapons, and unlike the typical military weapons of the time which were very plain and utilitarian, the weapons tended to be well crafted and were usually intricately decorated. They usually had very long barrels. The stocks were handmade and ornately decorated, featuring a distinctive curve which is not seen in the stocks of other muskets. The function of this curve is debated; it may be purely decorative, or it may have allowed the weapon to be tucked under the arm and cradled tightly against the body, as opposed to being held to the shoulder like a typical musket or rifle. This is an early 19th century Snaphance or Snaphaunce lock musket. It measures 5 Feet 4 Inches overall length. It has a 48” sighted round steel barrel which is approx. 32 Bore. The bore has heavy staining and residue consistent with age. The musket has a full stock, the woodwork has intricately tooled German silver bands and stud work decoration. The musket has the distinctive curved butt and a steel ram rod stuck firmly in place (to avoid possible damage we have not attempted to remove it). The gun is fitted with period plaited rope sling. The weapon has the wear and patina to be expected of a native weapon of its age. As is common with these weapons the action does not cock and dry fire but the hammer and trigger move. Due to size delivery of this item will be by arrangement, at cost & within the UK only. NB As an antique muzzle loading musket no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 23004 £450.00 |

Jim Greathead of Clanville, England, made, U.S. Under hammer Percussion Boot Pistol as used by Gamblers in the mid 19th Centuary. (1 of 750 made) **UK 2018 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** Sn - 22786 The American under hammer percussion boot pistol was a favourite of American Gamblers during the mid 19th Century. These were easily concealable, and the lack of a hammer on the top of the pistol, combined with the curved bag grip, made them very easy to remove without snagging on anything. This is a very unusual hand made under hammer single shot .400 inch caliber muzzle loading black powder pistol made by Jim Greathead who was renowned for his hand made under hammer muzzle loading pistols which were often used in modern pistol competition. Jim made around 750 handmade pistols during the 1990's and being hand made each one is a little bit different. This pistol is of a very simple design, measuring 13 inches in length with a 7 inch part octagonal cannon style barrel with a .400 inch bore. The pistol is fitted with a simple fore and rear sight. The lock design is quite simple, with just a spring loaded hammer and trigger, which serve as the tumbler and sear as well. There is no provision for a half-cock or any type of safety, just a notch on the hammer where the trigger locks into the pistol. The pistol is quite heavy and has a pair of wooden grips held with a single screw. The barrel and breech retain much of their original blued finish. The pistol cocks, deactivated in 2018. The price for this unusual pistol includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. Sn 22786 £345.00 |
