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.

Wolfdog Puppies (38%) Upcoming Litter (Arctic Type) For Sale
Spring 2026 upcoming 38% Wolfdog litter. To inquire; feel free to call 587-336-6789 These will be extra large Wolfdogs. I will send you a PDF form with questions and much more information about Wolfdogs to those inquiring; as Townpost descriptions can only be so long, and I have a lot of important information written there. This litter will be an F2 Arctic Wolfdog mix with true Arctic Wolf blood (Canis lupus arctos) from Ellesmere Island of North Canada on the father’s side. His name is Kato, and he is DNA tested at 73% Gray Wolf, 27% Alaskan Malamute. He is cleared of any of the 273 health problems Embark tests for. The mother of these pups; the female that will be bred to Kato, is a selectively bred mix that I have worked on for years. This canine mix combines the strongest, fastest, smartest, most obedient dog breeds on Earth. In the DNA are the largest, tallest, and best livestock guardian breeds that have the least health problems. She is also a true micro content Wolfdog. These dogs are at the top echelon of their specialties in the dog world. In the PDF, you can read about physiology and behaviours, how I selected these breeds, pros and cons of owning one, information about the family lineage, the genetic aspect of these animals, why the pricing is fair, about the the parents and their temperaments, phenotyping and trait selection, DNA testing, what you will need to do to own one, their diet and enclosures, the creation of this lineage, and you will be able to get additional photos and videos of individuals from this lineage. These specific breeds in the mother are: Turkish Kangal: 19.5% Caucasian Shepherd: 16% Greyhound: 12% Belgian Malinois: 8% Border Collie: 8% Australian Shepherd: 6% Alaskan Malamute: 5.5% Great Pyrenees: 5.5% Gray Wolf: 5.25% Sarplaninac: 5% Whippet: 5% German Shepherd: 4% This mix is in a league of its own. I have never seen the combination of these breeds in a Wolfdog; I specifically created it in Alberta, Canada. I have also traced the lineage and have pictures of the family tree back to 1993. My animals are DNA breed and health tested with the most accurate test out there, Embark, that screens for hereditary diseases and accurately pinpoints the breeds in the dog, the alleles, finds relatives, and has descriptive information pertaining to your dog. These will be massive Wolfdogs. They have had very very chill ancestors for Wolfdogs; I bring them in public all the time. While each pup comes out different, the genetic lineage of these puppies is insanely outgoing for Wolfdogs. Good in public; and not shy. Also, my lineage doesn’t have escape artists in its recent lineage which could save you a headache, as some Wolfdogs are set on escaping. I’m not even being biased but legitimately, from a genetic standpoint they will be the most enhanced genetic specimens of Wolfdogs on Earth. The prior generation of males in their owners homes have males at 31.5 inches at the shoulder and 135lbs, and others that are 140-150lbs and 33 inches at the shoulder. Each generation has gotten bigger. Though Kato is 29”, his pups should definitely be over 30” with this lineage integrated. Females will be smaller, likely around 85-120lbs depending on the individual. Kato is insanely rare, as his Coefficient of inbreeding (COI) is 1% DNA tested… 1/20th that of the average dog. Another thing; he is legitimately a true F1; almost unheard of in Arctic Wolfdogs, as is the same with his COI. What is also super rare about him is that he presents only two breeds in his genetic make up. Whereas 99% of Wolfdogs have more than two breeds, consisting of some assortment of Gray Wolf, German Shepherd, Malamute, and Husky. These dogs would make great survival dogs and companions, sled dogs, or predator deterrents. They are probably the strongest variety of Wolfdog out there as well. I bred them for prepper purposes. They are legal in western Canadian provinces, and many states in the USA. In some countries internationally Wolfdogs are also legal, such as France, Italy, and Mexico. That being said; those who are interested in this truly one of a kind litter on Earth; get in contact with me and feel free to call. -Luke 587-336-6789
