Picked these up at birmingham UK on sunday, turned out to be an expensive day, but worth it, wanted one for myself with the intention to sell the other two but they do look together, covered in grease and stored for over a hundred years, they come up quite well after initial clean, still a long way to go dont even know what the bore,s are like as yet.

Nice haul.

I see the one has a Fort William Arsenal roundel

The butt with the fort william roundel is the one with a crack/split, i will have a look at a later date with the view to repair it, if its possible.

Am still in the cleaning process of the wood, am using mother nature to give a helping hand, after a clean with linseed oil they are left in a room which gets the sun most of the day, a few minutes and the wood starts to sweat as can be seen in one of the pics.

Looks good. I picked up a long lever from IMA and am still cleaning it up.
