Re: Alexander Hamiltons War Pistols
dang it ..
.. and to think, I just committed to buy a $299 Bond derringer .... with that money committed, I can only wish I'd of know these flint locks were coming up for sale ..

Re: Alexander Hamiltons War Pistols
Group buy maybe? If everyone put in their $1200 stimulus bucks we'd only need 10,000 participants, assuming the winning bid is $12 million. Maybe a bit more for buyers premium, etc. I'll volunteer to keep them safe at my house.

Well heck JE, I've got a very similar one hanging on my wall that I built from a kit and I'd knock of a million or two just for you.

Re: Alexander Hamiltons War Pistols
