Relevant to the news of the day, at least as *I* see it.

Your mileage, after the reveal, may of course, differ.

Not rusty.  Grease-based preservative.

is that what Murray was looking for?

Cheers

A pocket pistol, according to some, although the practicality for such use is highly over rated.!

Could be a Hall, what I think is the hair trigger could be the breech release...seems a bit small tho

Ski jump for a flea -- with attached spike bayonet.

Mother-of-5's chastity belt.  Pulling the lever opens once per 365 days.

Looks too fiddly for a military sear/trigger. Maybe something out of a competition rifle but I agree that is seems to be an adjustable pressure  trigger assembly.

Must be english. Too many parts for it to be made anywhere else.

Og is close, but it's French.

John, not the....   You are right, its a Hall
 
By og on April 19, 2010 9:43 PM
Oooh, a hall! And the conditionis impressive, this part, anyway. Can't wait to see the whole thing!

Not.one.comment on the obligatory Castle Cat Hair?

Jeez.
 
By og on April 19, 2010 10:35 PM
That would obviate the "Obligatory" nature of it. We'd comment if it was hairless.

You are right, its a Hall

Ahhhhh, but is it a *Great* Hall?

Chief, that was un-called-for, and I think you are just trying to make trouble. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

To get serious: Definitely early 19th-Century tech, there. None of yer sissy modern wire-springs!  I don't think it's a Hall, which I betcha had fewer parts in it. I look at the blue places at the bottom of the pic, on both sides, and the roundedness just below them, and think this is meant to sliide into a larger mechanism.

Naw -- the blue's just the reflection from the uniform trousers of the cavalry re-enactor who came over for a closer look.

Snerk.  Half right, Bill.  It is a reflection of blue clothing.  In this case the voluminous blue t-shirt that shields the normals from having to view the Great Bulk of Argghhh! while the scene was being converted to pixels.
