|
|
Well someone over at SFI posted this auction that I thought was interesting... had some odd looking pieces that I'd never seen before including this one:
It is listed as a partisan but I can't help wondering if this isn't another interpretation of Jean's Land de beouf...
Here's another one I like even more:
What the heck is up with this thing?
Lots of old guns to if you are into that sort of thing...
Here's the auction site:

Obviously, a bottle opener. Those Renaissance crown caps can be downright mean sometimes.

The top two are indeed Swedish partisans, the top one is mid-18th centiry while the lower one is the pattern 1697, both of the models were issued to NCOs in the Swedish infantry as both a weapon and a sign of rank.

I've been eyeing those pieces, especially the last one, for quite some time now. I'm really itching to go to that auction.
