John Forbes of Liverpool Sawhandle Smoothbore Adjustable Trigger .62 Calibre Percussion Conversion Fine Antique Dueling Pistol
Howdy Townpost! I have a truly amazing one of a kind piece here for sale. I bought this for myself in the US over a year ago and I had it professionally restored and fully repaired. I am now looking to sell it. John Forbes, of Liverpool, was gunmaker to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. And according to my research made mostly dueling and target pistols, and some small pocket pistols for only 5 years. Those years being 1805-1810. He spelt his name with I or Iohn and later switched the spelling to a J or John based on public records and some of the other examples of his dueling pistols that have sold at auction. That makes this a very rare and finely made pistol. This pistol would have cost a small fortune at the time it was made. Oftentimes dueling pistols come in pairs but it was cheaper to buy just one if they were offered as a single, and should you encounter someone who has insulted your honor and you demand satisfaction from them, they can bring their own pistol to the duel. The engraving is extremely fine, intricate and skilled. It would have taken many dozens of hours to complete and it was all done by hand. The engraving features drums, banners and spears, floral patterns, sunbursts on the base plate and lock, and a pineapple in the front of the trigger guard, which symbolizes wealth and status. Because this gun is a percussion conversion of the original flintlock mechanism the percussion hammer is engraved in a different style by a different engraver in a more simple floral and fish mouth style of engraving with gold inlay. Every screw is engraved to look like a flower and the escutcheons are also each engraved like a wreath. Overall there is a lot of fine detail with some simpler and less detailed later additions on the percussion mechanism and one spot on the side plate. The gun features gold inlay on the hammer which largely worn away. There is silver inlay on the outside of the breach, and a sterling silver wreath styled band wrapped around the base of the grip and a sliver bead front sight. The ramrod tip (which is a replacement) is silver plated brass, so too are the front stock cap near the muzzle, the rod pipe, cross key, and escutcheon around it are too. The grip baseplate is silver plated steel. The workmanship of this pistol is certainly of a quality of gunmaker worthy enough of being the gun maker of the Prince of Wales. The pistol is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it too.

Photo of WW2 1940 Original Canadian WWII P37 canvas holster
$80.00
WW2 1940 Original Canadian WWII P37 canvas holster
Here is a Canadian/British origin and the C broad arrow marking), and cross-referencing the images (including the faint stamping that reads “Z.L.&T. LTD 1940” along with the C broad arrow symbol), this is an original Canadian WWII Pattern 1937 (P37) web pistol holster. Features •  Khaki/tan heavy cotton canvas construction, typical of British/Commonwealth web gear from the era to save on leather due to wartime shortages. •  Flap closure with brass snap (often called a “lift-the-dot” fastener in some variants). •  Brass or metal belt hanger and loops on the back for attachment to P37 web belts or pistol belts. •  Angled design for right-side hip carry, with a reinforced muzzle end. •  Markings: “Z.L.&T. LTD 1940” refers to the manufacturer Zephyr Looms & Textiles Ltd. (Toronto, Canada), a known WWII contractor for Canadian military gear. The “C broad arrow” (often stylized as C↑ or C with an arrow inside) is the Canadian government property/acceptance mark, indicating it was issued for Canadian forces (part of the British Commonwealth system, where the broad arrow denotes ordnance property, and the “C” specifies Canada). This holster was designed primarily for revolvers like the Webley Mk IV .455 or Enfield No. 2 .38, which were standard for Canadian troops early in WWII. However, similar P37 holsters were also used or adapted for the Canadian-made Inglis Browning Hi-Power 9mm pistol (produced from 1944 onward). Original Canadian WWII P37 canvas holsters in good used condition (like this one, with intact hardware and no major tears) typically sell for $150–$350 on sites like eBay, GunsInternational, or militaria forums/auctions. Factors influencing price include: Rarity of the early 1940 date (pre-U.S. entry into the war, during the British Commonwealth’s initial buildup). Clear markings (the C broad arrow and manufacturer stamp add provenance). Condition: This appears solid but field-used, so more toward the $200–$300 range. Recent comparable sales include similar Z.L.&T. Ltd.-made holsters from 1943–1945 fetching $200–$300. Can ship anywhere in Canada Please see my other ads for collectable military accessories.

TRADING or BUYING WELL: inquiry by Constitutional rights & full RPAL: Trade/Buying Small Arm like .38 Revolver/Antique - Discretion is a right too!
Hi there patriotic Canadians, just a brief rundown of what kind of person I am and what I am after; fully understanding our constitutional rights is important as it completely contradicts any or most current thug like bans or officials ways of lying and trying to convince society we have no rights to own firearms responsibly it has been a right under God or a Born unto by every good Canadian who has earned the ability to responsibly use and or own any firearm within reason and certainly if we have paid our dues as those who have spent most of our lives protecting other Canadians where firearms are not used to defuse situations as it is a known fact this almost always makes things worse and more dangerous which is exactly why people like that who are responsible and understand that responsibility don’t need some bureaucrat who has never handled a firearm dictate to me or you if it’s some privilege that mommy and daddy are letting us maybe have sometimes a little; it utter nonsense we are better people and not criminals like the ones who pass these archaic “laws” and criminals making laws clearly don’t make them legal. All of this out of the way I hope I can find and deal with the right people potentially an old timer who has an older collection of my favorites like the antique 6 shooters single & double action, I have been searching for a good condition grandfathered type short barrel 38/22/44/ namely but not strictly I simply require or would like to meet or find a like minded person who is willing to part with a nice potentially original out of their collection to hand down ideally I am after makes and models like the Smith & Wesson/colt single army/Ruger and Taurus model types if we are speaking strictly collectors deep history antiques, Wanting ideally, a good .38 short revolver action that is either already no longer reg. traced or an updated 1930s-1960s model whether it a detective issue snub or a regular issue short barrel 6 shooter that still has a speed loader option or preferably a modified reconstruction and has a side gate loader for single rounds as these are the most utilitarian and essential esthetics. Good or some worn condition I’d expect in fact I prefer a good harms arm to have some wear showing it has reliability and is still fully calibrated and comes as is no need for bells and whistles just a feel good reliable piece that will out last another generation to come. If anyone is a serious owner and collector discreetness is also a right and key in this or any trade and I would hope to keep any dealings private as possible as is our God given rights as RPAL lifetime holders, my offers for a good piece and especially with its holster/belt and any extras I am open to trading some rare estate solid gold signet and precious gem men’s rings which from recent informal appraisals were multiple times the gold values even though the contents and purity are already above any nonsense from a sissy jewelry store chain. My items and rarities are very old well kept and made for a man who wants something of value for example one is a full set Blue Boulder Opal from a small family owned mine in the Australian Outback it’s one of a kind in the world and I am auctioning this one for sure again as last time it had a fins of traction I just did not get enough eyes on it and the auction slot paid for was too short otherwise I was very close to getting an extremely generous offer, but was unable to locate the bidder before it finalized such as are all silent “A”s I also have Solid gold bullion cuff that exceeds 2 ounces of 999.9 of the purest gold which can be shaped, clipped for divided uses even turned into other pieces with its content. I also have constitutional USA silver 90% dimes, and more bullion silver and some very old antique pieces going back hundreds of years. of course Cash talks and I am willing to do a straight cash deal split or show what other great items I have and own including prepper gear wonderful older leather 1800s style jackets and other small priceless artifacts such as meteor fragments and the likes. I’m sure based on my listing of potential items to trade for a decent .38 antique form revolver or something of similar greatness we can come to a more than fair even mutually beneficial trade again I respect peoples privacy and in any deals as long as it’s within our constitutional rights as the Law Abiding Canadians we are and shall always be allowed to do business at our hearts content going far back into our own heritage when trades like these were common place and no jackboot ever had a place nor legal grounds to meddle in our affairs: Remember nothing has changed we have just been told to forget. I’m not going to forget my God given rights and I hope you don’t either we all deserve them as freeborn People’s of Canada and Beyond. Please contact me as soon as you feel like throwing fisticuffs lol or just making some offers

Photo of 1860  COLT Army .44 Percussin Revolver **SOLD**
$3000
1860 COLT Army .44 Percussin Revolver **SOLD**
This 1860 Colt Army .44 was built in 1862 and retains all its original numbers on the wedge,arbor pin,under barrel,front of trigger guard x2,cylinder 1850, on the grips underneath the back strap,on the grip frame. The 8” barrel has strong rifling and freckled pitting with an 80%+ shiny bore,it retains a strong 3 click hammer with tight lockup and perfect timing and indexing. The original grips show a clear military cartouche,and are damage and repair free,cylinders are clean and nipples are in VG crack free and distortion free condtion. 4 main build variants of this Model between 1860-1873 were distinguishable by the addition of a 4th screw on the left side of the receiver and a notch in the bottom of the grip frame allowing for a shoulder stock,to convert it to a usable carbine revolver which clearly shows in the pics provided. The barrel shows partial remains of “ADDRESS COL. SAM’L COLT NEW-YORK US AMERICA “ Above the trigger guard on the left side of the receiver is stamped “COLTS PATENT”, cylinder stamped PATENT 1850. The uniqueness of this particular Colt is that this revolver was built during the years of the Civil War and was likely nickel plated post Civil War by either a civilian or a surviving soldier. Presentation Nickel revolvers were widely known to be presented to Commissioned Officers of High ranking,this revolver retains 50%+ of its original nickel. It’s not flaking only wearing naturally through use and time,and still very stable with no deterioration. Examples of these nickel plated 1860 Army Colts can be found by googling Morphy Auction site & Ancestry Guns & Military for comparison pricing,$$$$ U.S. currency. I make no claim as to the safety of firing this 165 yr old revolver,only to its mechanical functions and its complete original factory assembly at time of purchase!
