My Dad brought this back from England in '61. Bought it from a gun dealer friend of his over there. We just call it "The Baker." None of us have ever shot it. I also have the original saber bayonet that came with it. http://photos.imageevent.com/wiley/thebaker/_MG_9498.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/wiley/thebaker/_MG_9499.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/wiley/thebaker/_MG_9501.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/wiley/thebaker/_MG_9502.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/wiley/thebaker/_MG_9504.jpg That's cool as shit. |

No, but there was a guy down the street who recently moved on to retirement who did.
He had some kind of old musket on the wall over his hearth that was visible through his picture window from the street. His home was referenced with a disparaging tone as "The Gun House" by some off the mommies in the after school pick up warren that I spoke too about my location and had used his house as a point of reference. . He has been gone for over two years, and I have considered getting a Brown Bess replica or something to hang on my mantle to become "The new Gun House" to give the rabbits something more to tsk tsk about. |
| I want to mount my 1919A4 on the wall on its tripod with the rear legs together with a cord running through the receiver, through the barrel and then into a lamp stuck into the muzzle booster so it looks like nothing more than a goofy wall lamp but is still a fully functional gun once the cord is removed. |
The four at the top are cast resin replicas of originals carved from caribou antler and mammoth ivory found in France dated to around 17,000 years ago. The others are modern creations, fully functional. The one on the left, second up from the bottom is a copy of an 8,000 year old original found in Nevada. |

Don't have a photo, but I have an old Gold Hibbard SxS on the wall in my office.
Thing would probably blow up in your face if you tried to shoot it. I believe Gold Hibbard was an old hardware store brand gun. Not valuable, but looks antique. Paid $1.37 for at Gander, bought with the pinky swear it was only good for use as a wall hanger. Did I pay too much? |
