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.

Brass Casing Processing and Ammunition Reloading Business
For Sale $38,000 obo Willing to Part Out Brass Casing Processing and Ammunition Reloading Business I have for sale my brass casing processing and ammunition reloading business venture. Due to sudden health changes, I can no longer do this and have to sell quickly. Make me an offer. I have acquired all the equipment and raw materials to get the business up and running. There is enough brass casings to provide a return of approximately 25% to 40% of capital investment, at new prices. I have purchased all this equipment new, most of it imported from the USA, from Dillion Precision and Mark 7 to name a few, paying for all shipping and import duties. Due to these sudden health changes, I am no longer able to proceed with my home based business, and I have to sell it all immediately. My plan was to do this as a hobby, and take the processed brass to gun shows, farmers markets and other local and provincial events that I could attend. Processed brass does not require a PAL to possess and/or sell/purchase. Process brass that is unloaded does require a PAL to possess and/or sell/purchase. I am an avid hunter, sport shooter, and into long range accuracy as well. I was also going to reload my own ammunition with the same equipment, so I purchased the best possible for the most accurate and reliable brass and ammunition possible. I am not selling any gun powder, primers, bullets or completed ammunition. I would like to sell this as a package to an interested party. Breaking it up may make it less enticing to an interested party, but I may sell equipment individually if there is no interest in the whole package. Most of the equipment is unused, so it is in new condition. The rest of the equipment has limited use, to verify setup parameters and test end product for SAMMI specs and accuracy, so it is in near new condition. The brass is government issued, once fired, purchased through GCSurplus auction site. If you are skilled at brass processing and ammunition reloading, and are looking to expand your hobby into a small home based business that can turn a profit quickly, with reliable top quality equipment, this is what you are looking for. I have taken most of the guess work out of sourcing the proper equipment, providing all the operating and maintenance manuals to go along with equipment, with some resource books to help perfect your product. If you are part of a gun club that likes to process brass and reload their own ammunition, this is ideal for you. Please call me to view equipment, and I can answer any questions you may have. Please be aware, this is all high end processing and reloading equipment and it is not cheap to buy new. Yes, I am looking to sell, and yes I am will to negotiate, but be aware my price is still high, but not near the price you would pay to buy new today. I am asking $38,000 or best offer. Delivery and loading assistance can be arranged. Mike Logan 587-984-5851 mikelogan33833@yahoo.ca Edmonton, Alberta area

Magic the Gathering card collection+ [100s UNSEARCHED]
Firstly I barely remember how to even play MTG let alone what the fk World of Warcraft game cards are. What I can say and do know is these were just received by me and I own them now as part of a family estate sale unfortunately so it legally did cost me and notary and having greedy parents and siblings isn’t fun frankly I didn’t even want these things but it was insisted in a will and I know somethings like these need to be properly protected and stored to be of any value and I don’t even trust what little family I left to do that.Digressing before I take these to some sweaty cardshop and either ask the employees at the place what they are worth get lied to and told “10 bux.” Or throw me a booster pack of Pokemans cards then display some random card I have for $3,000 in a 4 bolt locked case like I’m an NPC in TCG Manager or better yet ask the nerds in the store playing in sweaty 90 hour tournaments I figured I would check online first and I was told that FB marketplace is often the hip thing todo these days (what do I know I was 10 years old when Magic the Gathering came out and haven’t played last since I was like 12 which was like 1996: there are (and I’m guessing here) at least 300 to several hundred Magic cards and when I checked about 8 random cards there might be some World of Warcraft cards mixed in though I was told this is limited and I didn’t even know Wizards of the Coast made a WoW card game. These are seemingly in mint or near mint condition as I was also told this and my previous family member owner was OCD about that stuff it seems like a couple also have plastic sleeves with support backings to not bend or so the cards are extra protected. Now while I also have no clue in hell what any of these are worth by looking at them even if I checked all of them I would guess wrong. I know they were apparently from booster packs whatever that means. And they are 100% unsearched unchecked and unappraised aside from the ones I used in the pics and 2 random WoW cards I pulled out last night and apparently have been kept in this 2 foot cardboard shoe box full basically end to end and that seems to me like several hundred cards. I don’t know but I do remember the original graphics on the back of the cards which are there, I don’t know but my family member who is no longer around had more than this but sold them or something and may have kept the most valuable and possibly the original non reprinted versions that came out originally if that’s the case they gotta be worth something so anyone who is looking for a box full of Magic the Gathering and some extras in apparent mint condition/protected that might at least give you a more than good chance of finding a rare and valuable card missing from your collection or this box being worth a few hundred to a few grand. Its your lucky day? Again myself nor anyone else who knew my family remember nor did anyone else search, check, review, research, appraise, truly value these cards aside from the several I pulled out at random just prior to and for the pics for this ad. In addition to this I again have no freaking clue what any Magic Cards are worth these days especially if there are decades old originals in here which I am assuming there are maybe the one that might be in here is the one like the Dragon card I ripped to shreds as a kid that was worth like 20 bucks back then. Hundreds now maybe? For all I know I should be getting these officially sent away to the offical appraisal services that encase them all in clear epoxy and grade them then stamp them and for several hundred dollars mail them back in velvet bags. And there is a card in this converse shoe box worth 5 grand, I really don’t know even if I checked all of them. But ultimately I don’t want to sell them to a card game shop owner who rips me off. I haven’t checked the value of the ones I looked at. I want these to end up with an honest collector legit. I hope an honest collector makes an offer/request so they can valuate until I do auction. equal trade pls in my ads-gold diamond pinky ring, gold/diamond 10-24k chunky bracelet. A dumb tv 55”+ no issues like new condition & base, lightweight coffee table similar to the lifetimes, office desk&good desk chair. Antique firearms collector like grandfathered specifically small 6 shooters old Derringers.Reales/pieces of 8 or Gold Escudos etc real period ones even ones in pendants or set in rings.pre 1964 90% constitutional silver or earlier bags or cans of all kinds of 90% silver coins liberties any pre-1933 American Constitutional gold coins 5 dollars-50 dollar specifically half or double Eagles.EMUs.pure bullion USA Canadian, Valcambi bars any bars or maples silver/gold bullion from 1 gram 1/10, 1/4 to 1 Troy Ounce(ozt) and again if it’s worth close to what I’m offering and you are willing to trade or even partly sell mix options are fine. -13-inch Macbook M4. Again no one + me knows what most of these cards look like let alone their values.Thanks GL!

14k Gold Cuban Brace, Emerald Britannia, Musketeers Spaulder Slv rings,Medieval X ,23kGold(98%+ pure) over 1ozt pure gold content, “infinity Ring”
selling or trading for cash, bullion or thick heavy high purity solid gold/diamond+chain/bracelet or anything that is of interest. Old maps,books,antiques/firearms especially authentic artifacts. Updated April 2025: May be interested in selling or trading my custom authentic boulder opal signet ring; this was done on order and custom designed also it’s directly from a family in the AUS; small farm mine that results boulder opals of all sizes which are the rarest opals on Earth and the rarest gemstone type. This isn’t like any bought normally; it’s not sectioned or layered, a full opal polished to fit the 14k gold ring which is quite thick, heavy, you can see its authenticity by the red stone backing proving just on that aspect alone. Its fairly thick but they come in all shapes and sizes this one is a small/medium rating but it’s an A+ top quality gem on its own and may even be worth more than the gold in the ring itself. It cost me a good amount to get it all custom done which I was a part of the entire creation process. Its large about 12-13 size can be adjusted. It’s encased and mostly enclosed by a square raised section of the rings complete shank in one piece by a square top raised cushion setting. I don’t particularly want to part with this unless a good offer as on auction or selling to a pawn shop/jeweler could get more than I paid for it years ago. Its hallmarked gold stamp Its around 16gram minus stone, close to that in gold content which is about half a Troy ozt of gold bullion, based on current market prices its slightly more than I paid for the entire smithing job and gem and then the shipment and insurance to have it mailed overseas. — “Infinity Ring” This is a valuable collectors item but also gorgeous for anyone who’s into Marvel Avengers; the ring and i designed cost alot of time & money for the custom work, gems sourced pure gold a few years ago with prices/premiums/jewelcraft-goldsmithy markup now it’s not likely I will get much profit, but these are collectors pieces. Also any pawn shops or jewelers take 100- 300% over spot, you won’t find cheaper,smaller/lighter ones are more than what I’d take: these are only ones of their kind in existence solid 22-23+ solid thick/chunky over 1 ounce Troy pure gold content semi hammered natural deep bright slightly burnished looking gold hue from the pure bullion direct from mining factory/natural gold slight silver mix its near 96-98% pure .999 again with all the gems of the Avengers Infinity Glove plus varied innershank hallmarks…universal Nicola Tesla Stamp 369 and 22K hallmark inner outer handcarved Celtic Saxon/Vikings protection/power sigil, the purity is slightly closer to 23-24k the minor hand made alloy decision was to keep it just strong enough so it doesn’t warp as easy its solid but can be fitted easily if you know what you are doing its between a size 11-12.5 maybe can meet at any reputable jewelers to confirm auth and it fits well, very comfortable for its uniform thickness and wider width than average bands etc fits on most peoples fingers possibly wearable on neck chain great investment. its hard for me to part with these due to sentiment, but i need the extra cash or good trade &bills/cross country move.Id get a lot more on auction so this offer is a deal even at gold prices plus premiums/gems slight cost they are small but still hold value 300-600$ avg; its simple gold items, but valuable investments, subtle and not too flash but chunky and weights to based on the gold 999.9% bullion, Infinity is around 1.3-1.5 ozt pure gold content alone; the gems are all real. while small are authentic and of added values; the naming was of complete accident when the gold-smith and I realized its significance; it is a lightly rustic hammering but other than that it looks almost like a mix of modern and or Celtic artifact based on the bullion quality gold and hand crafting plus the gems alone and more for it being the only one in existence known as it is hand crafted no molds exist for it value& auctions depending - you can verify this just by checking prices/branding, as said I will try to give a good bargain based on reasonable offers (have interested collectors already active) willing to barter/most invaluable so value isnt set im taking the best offer takes.. other items of interest:games etc,Libya/Egyptian Desert Glass (rare pieces of 28 million yrs old contains deep space meteor fragments) Same source as "desert gold" scarab found in King Tuts sarcophagus) and more such as a silver mini knights legging Fluer du Leis that is near pure authentic artifact Musketeers ring & gothic or medieval handmade Christian Silver Cross seem to be from pre 1600-1700s (mid to early) I sold the other types I had, on auction etc. some are very rare, the ones left are priceless. antique 90% US silver merc dimes-M
