Greetings all,
First time poster here. Just wanted to say very nice forum and very informative. I was curious on getting some information on some guns that were left by my great grandfather.
One is a cap fired gun? with a screw off barrel. Seems pretty old LOL, looks like something a pirate would have. The only marking I could find is the number 15 stamped on it.
The other gun is a PIN fire revolver? (Not sure on all the correct terminology Please forgive my ignorance) It has the stamping of ELG in a circle with a star, I believe it is British or French.
It could be neither that's why I'm inquiring here to gain some knowledge. Thanks in advance for any info......Oh ya here are some pics of the above mentioned relics
