    Hello,
    I found this object in my father's belongings after he passed away. On the back it says "Pistol Cupboard HMS Flintham". A google search hasn't turned much up about pistol cupboards this size. From what I've read, the HMS Flintham was a British minesweeper. Does anyone have any information about these and if its a collectible or if it is something to drop off at Goodwill?

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Kinda cool, never seen one! It may be a one-off but very nicely crafted and attractive, although dimensionless:arghh:

    Might fetch up to a few hundred $ but who knows? Looks like it holds 3 Weapons using a locked bar that goes through the trigger guard of the service handgun.

    Oh, I forgot to include dimensions! It's 7 3/4" wide, 14 1/2 " long, and 6 1/8" deep. I'm not really sure where to look for information on it? I couldn't find much online. I also have the key that locks the front. My dad was a borderline hoarder so there has been a lot of random, interesting stuff!

    In the right market, that thing might take off. Or go shooting off, as it were.

    Welcome! :)
    I concur with all stated!
    Great photos!
    I think that indeed could do very well if provenance will prove out.
    I love it. :)
