Very Old Gun

Recommended Posts

Would anyone know where I might find information on an old gun. The minimal research I have done with this gun says it was from Poland - all in foreign writing. I can try to post a picture on here if it would help.

Thank you for posting these pictures..

The paperwork with is like in german?? English piece says something like...

Made in 1863 during the January ?? uprising of Poland against Russia.

Given as a gift by Dar Jozeta S. in 1918

Model of pistol can be found in the museum of the Polish Army in Warsaw. The firing barrel is 24 cm??? the caliber is 12mm

It is a fire cap detonator pistol from 1863 made by warsaw gun maked J. Stapfa. There is a word on the barrell it says

WISLOCKI

Does not seem to have any rifiling in the barrel at all. There is a ram rod of some sort attached.

Its Polish alright! I am not sure if I know anyone that can decide what the gun is and its value. However I know a couple of people that can maybe help you with the history and any Polish related questions.

Joel Kilichowski-Pollack for sure! grin.gif

Thanks! Would love to know the history and maybe what value it might be for insurance purposes. I actually bought this gun for $100 about six months ago. I could scan the sheet with polish writing if someone could translate.

I just translated it with a friend of mine, it says " the buyer of this gun just wasted a hundred bucks, this item is made in China with the finest plastic resins"

Just kidding...I couldn't resist.. grin.gif

It is an awesome gun, and I am sure it has a good value, and I'de really like to know the history of it...let us know what you find out.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
