musket

[BeardyMan]

The old man has a couple of muskets, a blunder-bus and an old Luger that my gradfather bought back with him after WW2.
I got into the loft when they were out one day and found this strange little pouch of black powder and a load of tiny little ball bearings. Being especially pleased with myself I bought these down to investigate further. On presenting my parents with my find, exclaiming proudly "Look what I found!" they were quickly removed from my possession, and I was told that I hadn't found them, as they were not lost - they were just stored up there so I wouldn't find them.

The blunderbus is a thing of beauty
