Fortunately he has not highlighted anything on which I have bid this time. He has shown some interesting items, with a good commentary. Last edited by Parabola; 08/08/26 06:32 AM.

As mentioned below, I'm still considering this one: This percussion "St Kirchner Suhl" cape-gun on Holt's sealed bid auction is beautiful: https://www.holtsauctioneers.com/as...826+++2009+&refno=227358&image=1 Last edited by Argo44; 08/08/26 08:31 AM.

I own a French "Wonder" gun, made in Saint-Etienne. Per FAB the trademark was Parisian: https://doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=481671&page=6 Baluch are not Brahui, Brahui are Baluch
