Very good stocks with minor distress in forearm, but very solid. Has a light overall patina finish and a undamaged tang. 3) Good overall condition with light surface corrosion and good bore. Evidence of cartouche on 1-pc walnut stock. Mechanics seem fine. Should clean up very well and additional research should be done on this early SN. 4) Early walnut stock with evidence of numerous earlier repairs. Slight wood loss along bbl channel and lock mortise. Iron bbl is in a good state of preservation with an even elegant chocolate patina. Brass mounts and rod ferrules are nicely patinaed.

Should clean wonderfully. 7) Five of the six powder horns are in a very nice state of preservation with good bases and spouts.

An exceptionally fine quality contemporary horn. 8) A grouping of 19th Century shot flask leather flasks and ball bags. in varying states of preservation and being overall fine would be ideal for display of period arms and/or actual light use. 9) Assorted grouping of WWII German Military decorations and coins.
