[QUOTE="Gatoblanconz, post: 9845479, member: 14927"]*are these, not Abbys One is short The other is long. They horn is full of lead shot. A South American guy bought them in to Australia about 20 years ago. To me they look like they have a bit of age on them but they look pretty crude. Interesting that they have clips for the belt. I mean it's quite possible in South America that they made firearms in a little bit more of a rudimentary way because they had less money. But I haven't seen enough antique guns to know whether these were intended to be fired or are just a collecting thing? The percussion cap mechanism works quite well that is you can pull it back and the trigger snaps it down. What are your thoughts?
