Ahoy !

Would ya help me pick out the best gun? Thanks, I thought so ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
Denmark is small, my city is small .. Why is evertyhing so small ? But, there no pirate shops around the corner in my town, Praise the internet ..
So please, tell me which gun you like the best.
The site is danish, but try 'n help me anyways !

This is the index with all the guns. Just click the picture of a gun and it will show some more info ..
<a href="http://hardballshoppen.dk/index.php?cPath=633_635&osCsid=0dc11d97bfeaf0561dbb4d7363ed48b1" target="_blank">index</a>

I wan't a gun with a Jack sparrow look, not one ending in a (correct me if im wrong..) blunderboss..

Here's my favorites.
Click the picture of the gun, to get a bigger picture..
I don't wan't it to be all to fancy .. its hard to find the right one in Denmark ..

<a href="http://hardballshoppen.dk/product_info.php?cPath=633_635&products_id=3149&osCsid=0dc11d97bfeaf0561dbb4d7363ed48b1" target="_blank">Gun 1, English. Can't really see if it has the blunderbuss look ..</a>

<a href="http://hardballshoppen.dk/product_info.php?cPath=633_635&products_id=5333&osCsid=0dc11d97bfeaf0561dbb4d7363ed48b1" target="_blank">Pirate pistol. XVIII (if it says ya anything ..)</a>

<a href="http://arms-gallery.dk/default.asp?mode=search&item=62" target="_blank">One of my favorites .. But I don't like the skull on the "handle" ..</a>

But do you know a website that sells Guns with Sparrow look, and is able to send it all the way to little Denmark ? .. And of course to be trusted ..

I have a couple of suggestions for you, Zup21 -

That pirate pistol is made by Denix, as are a LOT of the replica flintlocks you will find on the 'net - it is likely that you will be able to remove that little skull & crossbones yourself by prying it off or unscrewing it from the handle. A little wood putty and perhaps some wood stain and all will be good!

You might try eBay to find someone nearer to you who will be able to sell you one of these replicas.

Otherwise, here are some Denix pistols from a website based in the USA, who will deal with international customers:

<a href="http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3816" target="_blank">http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3816</a>
I have this one in grey and I like it a lot.

<a href="http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3718" target="_blank">http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3718</a>
I love the look of this one, just a personal choice.

<a href="http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3749" target="_blank">http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3749</a>
Maybe a little too fancy for Jack Sparrow, but nice all the same.

<a href="http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3809" target="_blank">http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/detail.aspx?ID=3809</a>
This has a great look; I have one like this that actually fires - excellent clean look, nothing frilly or fancy, just utilitarian.

If you can find a Denix dealer in your country, that would be the best for you, as some of these pistols are heavy and pricey...

Hope this helps! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guns.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2guns" border="0" alt="guns.gif" />
 
Thanks for the links Catalina!
Beautiful Guns you found! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guns.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2guns" border="0" alt="guns.gif" />

Im going defiantly going to look after some Denix replicas! But do they have somekind of mark, on a specific place ? Like the "handle" (Newb, sorry <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> ).

Im going to Skagen in my holiday, my dad says that theres an antic shop with old guns ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

So I'm goign to wait until next week, to buy, want to check out the originals first ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Denix is one of the leading manufacturer of (obviously) replica or prop historic arms. There are other companies that make replica arms - some a lot better than Denix - but they don't have the distribution. Denix arms will be the most common in your search for a replica pistol.

Sounds like fun! Hope you find something GREAT! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
I like the looks of the english flintlock and the german flintlock replicas! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> I think it would be cool to have a pistol that fires "blanks", just for the smoke effect.

Best of luck on finding a real one at the antique shop Zup! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Hee hee... Sure...

These are gorgeous: <a href="http://www.museumreplicas.com/webstore/home.aspx" target="_blank">Museum Replicas</a>

And something to read: <a href="http://www.myarmoury.com/review_aa_custrap.html" target="_blank">My Armory</a>

VERY nice: <a href="http://www.armor.com/" target="_blank">Arms & Armor</a>

Good prices: <a href="http://budk.com/" target="_blank">BudK</a>

There may be others in your area, but these are a good start. You might also try eBay, there are some good dealers there. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Damn, BudK is cheap! I found one my weapons in there <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

but, have you ever heard of <a href="http://www.kultofathena.com/" target="_blank">Kult of athena</a>?

I found a very nice sword in there, <a href="http://www.kultofathena.com/product~item~500160~name~Steel+Hilt+Pirate+Cutlass.htm" target="_blank">Clciky</a>

<div align="right">[snapback]132801[/snapback]</div><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well, I like fancy, but I like functional also <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> I have an ornimental short sword, a Spanish Toledo copy, but I had it sharpenned and a leather sheath made for it. It's fun to go out into the woods and attack some tree branches once in awhile. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Only problem is that the handle covering has become loose. I'll have to get a welder to fix that. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":8q" border="0" alt="8q.gif" />
 
Yay! Im not alone in attacking trees! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

I wan't a functional one!, because I got 3 .. 4 (dagger), weapons. They are all functional, but they are a little too Samurai, to be used as pirate Weapons!
 
Heheh! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

I found me self the best gun in whole Denmark! Denix..

I'm gonna take a picture tommorow and give ya a link!

Its Awsome!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Nice link there to that website, Zup21! THANKS! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

Here is the rapier I carry:

<a href="http://www.kultofathena.com/product~item~PC1032B~name~Paul+Chen+Renaissance+Fencing+Rapier+with+Schlaeger+Blade.htm" target="_blank">Fencing Rapier</a>

I love it, it's light, and feels really great in my hand. As it's a functional fencing rapier, I can use it when I fence!
 
I havend't got off me arse to take the picture, but I found it in a weapon book!

"Pistol Model 1722. 16 gauge. 17,5 mm. Round barrel, brass front sight, Iron ramrod. Stock of beech either painted black or stained brown. Mounts of brass, 5000 pistols manufactured by Kronborg Arms Factory." (In case you don't know, Kronborg is a castle in Denmark <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> )
