Damascus, thanks for the pictures and the "state" of the pinfire in Britain. Too bad we just can't enjoy these things everywhere for what they are. Wonderful works of art were produced with the pinfire design in England, Belgium, firstly France, other parts of the Continent, I am sure. There were even two or three pinfires produced in the U.S. but maybe not the highly finished guns that could be made overseas.
Your Ebrall is fun and part of the story. The accessories that accompanied the pinfires were fun, too. Cartridge cases, loaders, reloading tools, etc.
Do you ever see any vintage all brass pinfire shotgun shells ? I have only seen paper shells with brass heads.
