    Mr. Piers, you were so helpful last year when I was trying to find a home for my matchlock, I thought I would return to the well once more.

     

    My son-in-law showed me a sword that was given to his grandfather, allegedly by a WWII pow.  Here are some pictures of it.  Does it come apart so that we could attempt to ascertain its origin?

     

    Thank you for any help and thanks again for all the help you gave me last year.

    Brian, I wanted to low the price on my items. Must I recreate the post in order update it?

    Sorry, I read the first post about when to use this posting service. I thought that I could post sale items. Sorry.

    I had posted two muskets for sale. The post disappeared!

    Yes, I saw the post on the other post on Translation. Thank you very much. I am familiar with removing pins (metal) as I make American long rifles and muskets. Whether someone has tried before, I have no idea, but I used a blunt (flat tipped) round tool made from a drill bit. I got no where. I had to make two different tools as the pin positioned closest to the breech had a smaller hole in the little flower inlay. I am in the USA. I don't know much about shipping guns overseas - or should I say "running" guns... I appreciate your help. Thank you.

    Mr. Bugyotsuji, I looked at disassembling the percussion gun to see if I could gain some information. I read the tutorial on disassembling these guns and it said the pins may be bamboo. If this is true and in my case I think it may be as I cannot feel any metal in the holes along the forestock. So, to remove them so that the barrel can be removed, are they drilled out? The longer "wall" gun is about .46 (18 mm) caliber and the shorter is .40 (16) caliber. The wall gun has a silver band behind the muzzle. The other gun has a brass/gold braid around the barrel behind the muzzle.

    Bugyotsuji suggested that I start a new thread on my muskets.Here are some pictures of the guns. I know nothing of these guns. I am not a collector of them. Is there a market for them? In the US? Thank you for any help you might give. Barry

    Thank you very much! I saw the words you wrote, but don't now what they mean. Could you help me on that? I know nothing about these guns. I am not a collector of them. Is there a market for them? I may put up a new post on them so that I can show them off! I thought the wall gun was a reproduction as it is in such good condition. Thank you again. Barry

    I forgot to add the symbols on the bottom of the barrel! What a dolt!

    I also have a matchlock and a percussion musket that I would like to find some information on. I have not yet taken the percussion apart, but the matchlock has engraved writing on the underside of the barrel that has yellow paint applied and wiped off. Any information on what the writing says would be appreciated.
