Sold This is a vintage 12 ga shotgun belt with brass shell holders. The belt is a new replacement for the vintage brass cartridge holders. The belt is 47" overall and adjusts from 37"o 45" and has a solid brass buckle. The shell holders have a small tab in them that lets the empties slide to the bottom of the belt while live shells stand above the belt. I bought this long ago and have only seen one other. $150 shipped. New box of Magtech 12ga brass empties available for $35...only for sale at this price with belt.

$2000 shipped to your FFL I am selling my Harrington and Richardson roll stamped Colt Commando clone with Spikes 37mm Havoc (M203) launcher. This is a copy of the Colt Commando as used by MACV/SOG and Army Special Forces in Vietnam. The barrel is pinned and welded at 16.25 inches with an XM177 moderator. It is machined from hardened 4150 steel, then MPI inspected to detect hidden flaws . It’s chambered for the modern 5.56 NATO cartridge, with speedy 1-7" rifling in the nitride bore, a 625" gas block/front sight base (F marked) with shaved bayonet lug, sight post, detent, spring, and sling swivel removed, flat Delta ring, barrel nut, weld spring, snap ring, and correct six hole round handguard cap. The collapsible metal stock is the period correct two position and is acetate covered. The trigger has been improved with match springs to break cleanly. The pistol grip is Vietnam era surplus. The 37 mm Spikes Havoc launcher has been modified with the correct under barrel mount. All the extraneous markings have been removed and the launcher finished in a "Battleworn" proprietary Cerakote. The rifle has been finished in my proprietary "Battleworn" Cerakote finish. This includes an undercoat of my custom "Bare Metal" Cerakote, followed by a top coat of Cerakote "Graphite Black" and then the "Battleworn" finish applied. Included are a modified vintage period carry strap with 550 cord, and an original Colt stamped 30 round magazine. Must ship to FFL, no sales where prohibited, know your state laws. You can see a video of this actual gun being fired here: https://youtu.be/e5Fl2XiVxxk

Sold to Earl Brasse. This is a Cane Gun, very popular among gentlemen in the Victorian era and well into the turn of the 20th Century. This cane gun is 36 inches long and percussion cap fired. It is not considered a firearm and can be shipped directly to you. The barrel unscrews from the handle for loading. A percussion cap is fitted onto the nipple in the breech and the firing mechanism pulled and locked to the rear. The striker is "pushed off" to fire. Blued steel and bamboo construction. About .36 caliber, I bought this years ago. It is a more modern reproduction. $150 shipped. Start a new SASS category.
The most common accessory that the well-dressed gentleman in the 1850s carried was a walking cane. This simple object was a status symbol among those with taste, the equivalent of the rapier carried by nobles during the Renaissance period. You simply did not leave home without it—so what better place to hide a gun?
WHY CANE GUNS?
For the sixty or so years of the Victorian era, every gentleman with clean fingernails went about town with a walking cane. These canes were simple accessories (though they could often be quite ornate in appearance) and didn’t have a specific purpose other than as a fashion accessory, a symbol of taste, wealth and class.
However, the piece of mind that comes with traveling with a nice, sturdy stick in your hands was certainly an aspect of these early canes function/popularity as this period also saw one of the most notorious rises in street crime ever seen in the modern Western world. And with the canes marking these gentlemen as targets for ruffians as much as defending against them, you could see why it soon became fashionable to have not only a cane, but also one that held a means of protection. This led to cane swords, but these were largely outpaced by the rise of small, concealable pistols, used both by citizens as well as

I think it would fit fine. I am 6'2 and have a 34 waist and the coat is plenty roomy as you can see. I like my coats to fit very loose.

sold I'm selling some of my Buffalo, Horse and Bear skin/hide coats from the late 1800's. This is a full-length bear skin coat with either Buffalo or Sheep collar, cuffs and trim. No rips or tears, some wear to the buffalo/sheep trim. missing the bottom toggle. Internal pocket, raglan sleeve cuffs, two side pockets. Missing tag and some wear to area where it came off. I've tried to take picks of these problem areas. That being said, the coat is in very good overall condition and in very wearable condition. The hide is supple and stitching strong, the liner is in great shape and very sturdy. I would not hesitate to wear this. It is also in a very rare large to extra-large size, as most men were smaller in stature in the 1800's. I am 6'2", and 175 pounds and I have plenty of room inside, even enough to close easily while wearing my gun belt. $650 shipped. Money back guarantee, return for any reason, for full refund, you pay return shipping. $650, check usps money order, Paypal Friends and family or Paypal goods and services plus 3%.
