Here's the link to the auction, which ends in March.

I really thought this was cool - how someone carried two guns at the same time. Someone's always thinking.

I remember wanting those for a few months last year while the auction was going on. Now I'll have to check them out every day this time too. Oh the torture!

I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die.

Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.

Hurricane.... you are EEEEEEEVIIIIIIIILLLLL! ;)

The Indonesian Trident-head chabang looks like a fantastic item for our very own Black Syren! :::coughcough**getitsomeone**coughcough::::

I'm seeing a couple items on there I'm fancying.

Umm... that Afghan Blunderbuss... ye think the lock has been changed from a flintlock to a precusion?

Also an FYI. The Antique Arms Show is that weekend here. It is the #1 place to see some out of the world objects. Most of this stuff belongs in a museum and its right in front of you for sale. It's the most amazing thing to go to each year. If you can make it...you should!

very cool. I have actually seen something like this depicted in a painting from the seige of vienna in 1683.

Check out the guy in the middle with the brown baldric on. On his belt he has a dual holster with one pistol still in it and the other in his hand.

I actually own one of the Omani powder flasks the same as the one in this auction:

I was considering putting it up on here for trade.
