<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 67159, member: 25&quot;]The swords are real and one is a fine late 18th.

Some detective work for me there, which will also include the reported 4 pistols removed from the house when the body was first found and that no one seems to have seen. I fear the beat cops dealing with the case would not know that percussion pinfire and obsolete rimfire round caliber pistols are all legal to possess with no formality, and they just seized them&nbsp; because they were gun shaped. More to detect and the lapse of a year does not make it easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really hate the idea of fine antiques being destroyed by the police in their ignorance, especially as they might mean a good deal of money for me if I can get hold of them.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
