Kjenner ørlite på misunnelsen nå, må jeg innrømme :D  Du får lage en tråd om den der, for det var en mektig fin børse!

Bra innlegg ellers også, fint å se at det er aktivitet ;)

Hallo Godtfolk! Vi i den harde kjerne HP svartkruttgruppen hadde et lite stevne på Blikshavn idag. Ingen supre resultat, utenom Alf Jostein sine 91 p på 100m med Gibbs.Jeg fikk prøvd min Alexsander Henry kal 557-450, men her må jeg nok forske endel før jeg er fornøgd!

wow 😍, your 1815-20 is really magnificent in my eyes and what's more with the saber bayonet and its scabbard !!!

really congratulations 👍

No I don't plan to restore it, it's very good like that I think.

 In addition I know a little about his history, he was brought back in the luggage and remained with the same large family from Paris to France for all this time, until by chance but also by negotiation he arrived at my house!
I say to myself surely thanks to this he may have escaped the transformation into model 1815/38 or even percussion.

Regards from France.

You will find some photos of my m/1815-20 near the bottom here:

(And pls. don't do like «The Americans» - they tend to "restore" all fine antiques, and blue all guns  ;) ... The story documented in the "wear and tear" disappears, and the final result might not be historically correct either.)

Thank you for the clarification .  I found some photos of the Model 1811 on digitalmuseum and indeed the stock is almost black on these.  I hope to have information on the black/blue or brown color of certain elements, screws, flintlock.....
I saw a model I believe M1815-20 shorter with rifled barrel including the flintlock and  the barrel was patinated black/brown.

Regards

Carl Heinrich Delcomyn was a Danish gunmaker. He lived from 1800 to 1864. He was a military gunmaker but also made many fancy guns for rich civilians. If you google his name you will get more information but you may need to learn Danish.

I have this high quality .36 cal. rifled percussion target pistol by Delcomy in Kiobenhaven & would appreciate any information on this gunmaker.

Note;
The 'fly' in this lock is located in a very fine slot cut into center of the tumbler instead on one of the tumbler's outer surfaces.
The mainspring also serves as the sear spring.
The Set-trigger is also finely built & will fire set or unset.

To my knowledge, there are some minor diffences between the m/1811 and the m/1815. Both came «in the white» as far as I know, and were the very frist Swedish infanteri long guns (gevär) i the smaller «karbin-kaliber» 18,55 mm. On the m/1811 the ramrod was almost cyndrical, some sources states that the stock was stained all black (like the older long guns), the middle barrel band a little wider, and the bayonet a couple of cm longer; 54,24 cm. All info compared to the m/1815. I do not own the m/1811 myself, so I sure hope members with higher knowledge will fill me in :-)
