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.

Hollis Screw-Barrel .40 Cal. Percussion Antique Coat Pistol
Howdy Townpost. This is a fine English pocket or coat pistol made by Hollis and Sheath company which is the precursor to Hollis and Sons or Isaac Hollis and Sons. Wallace and sheath became Hollis and Sons in 1861 when Isaac Brentnall Sheath left the company to immigrate to Canterbury, Australia and raised sheep and owned coal mines in an area that is now a suburb of Melbourne. His gun making days were behind him, he'd become an industrialist down undah. Sheath & Hollis co-founded the company in 1849 and Sheath stayed with the company until as previously stated, 1861. That dates this firearm between 1849 and 1861. This is a single shot side hammer lock percussion pistol. It's a screw-barrel meaning you unthread the barrel, fill the powder chamber and place a ball on top it. You then use the barrel itself and the threads to seat the ball inside of the breach. Then a percussion cap on the nipple, put it at half cock put it in your dapper overcoat and pull it out should you meet any Scallywags on your travels. The gun is mechanically excellent. The bore condition is very good, there is some minor shallow pitting but overall the rifling is very sharp and clean and shiny. The overall exterior condition of the metal and wood is in excellent shape the diamond checkering are sharp and defined. The powder chamber has only minor pitting as pictured and was cleaned out internally. For a defensive coat pistol, the sights are excellent and easy to pick up and with a rifled bore in good condition I expect this pistol could be fired very accurately. To shoot this gun I would use 3F powder. Both number 10 and 11 caps fit the nipple reasonably well. A 40 caliber lead ball would be ideal as a projectile but you could definitely use .375 caliber balls with a patch no problem in my opinion. I haven't tried it myself though. The pistol is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide too.

Beeman P1/HW 45 air pistol 22cal New $900
Please text anytime 6476871484. Durable high quality construction. No PAL required. Comes with box of 100 super penetrator pellets. Looks like a .45 1911 firearm...and just as accurate! Made in Germany by the legendary Weihrauch company, the HW45 is considered by many to be the Holy Grail of air pistols. This is an heirloom airgun that you'll pass along to your grandchildren and beyond. The gun's heft and balance convey quality and substance. It fills your hand without feeling bulky or oversized. The unusual overlever cocking mechanism compresses the powerful mainspring, and the hammer is actually the catch for it. Highly adjustable two-stage trigger, which has a serrated surface for more control, will help you extract maximum accuracy from the HW45. In fact, the adjustable trigger is so crisp, you'll wish it was on your firearms. The dovetail grooves are extra wide, and our accessory list has several 11mm to 14mm mounts that are known to fit. Unlike many modern air pistols, the HW45 isn't made of molded synthetics. It's a solid metal gun with finely checkered grips. And, it's ambidextrous. The 11mm dovetails make it easy to mount a pistol scope or a red dot sight. The HW45 has two power levels. The different power levels are created by cocking the gun to different lock points. See the detail shots to see how to cock the gun for high power and low power. The distance you shoot, the weight of the pellet and the type of target will let you determine which power level is best. The HW45 is an excellent indoor trainer for those who shoot the M1911A1. Caliber .22 (5.5mm) Max Velocity 460 fps Muzzle Energy 5.59 ft/lbs Spring-piston Loudness 3-Medium Trigger Pull 1.75 lbs Barrel Rifled Barrel Length 6.54" Overall Length 11.0" Capacity 1 round(s) Cocking Effort 18 lbs

Tactical Repeating 6 arrows Crossbow NEW $980-1100
Please text anytime 6476871484. Brand new. The Target Kit includes a stringing aid and six arrows, and the Hunting Kit includes 55 lb. and 90 lb. Pro Limbs, the Target Limbs, replacement string, a stringing aid, and six arrows. The Tactical Repeating Crossbow represents one of the easiest and best ways to quickly and accurately shoot up to six arrows before reloading. It is very light and easy to carry and operate, even with one hand, and it utilizes upgraded technology including improved engineering for the limbs and a redesigned base. It is capable of velocities up to 220 FPS and power up to 15.2 FPE (both measured using the optional 90 lb. Pro limbs and training arrows) and excels at both target practice and small-game hunting. This crossbow features repeating action that is remarkably smooth, which helps to make it the most reliable repeating crossbow available today. Includes an AR-style length-adjustable stock with a standard buffer tube that delivers a variable length of pull with a stable and comfortable hold that rests on the shoulder, as well as making cocking easier. In addition, it can be customized using AR grips and AR stocks, giving shooters an easy method for adding the accessories they want. Another upgrade is the fiber optic front sight that enables faster target acquisition and more-precise aiming. The top of the crossbow also offers a Picatinny optics rail and the front has laser sight. This crossbow can be safely loaded with up to six arrows ahead of time because the bolts are stored inside the magazine and the crossbow will only shoot when cocked. That means it can be carried loaded and is ready to shoot quickly after a simple cocking motion. The unique magazine also enables quick follow-up shots, something seldom seen on crossbows of any size. Durable impact-resistant and UV-resistant polymer construction Integrated 6-arrow polymer magazine Length-adjustable AR-style buttstock with standard buffer tube Max. velocity: up to 220 FPS* Max. energy: up to 15.2 FPE* Ridged and textured pistol grip Removable ridged vertical foregrip Laser sight Picatinny optics rail Fiber optic front sight Bottom Picatinny accessory rail Sling loop Overall length: 21.9" to 24.9" Width: 17.5" Overall height: 8.6" (includes foregrip) Weight: 2.56 lbs.
