I bought it cuz I have two flintlock "monkey" guns from that region of the world. Also, it was real cheap!

Nice to see that our auction catalogues are reaching the outside world...................There is a lot of interesting stuff around in our little country!

A nice and unusual flask. Here is a Thai Laos powder flask from my collections.

I forgot all about this thread. Here is a far away shot of my "Monkey Guns". The top gun, (below the VC shotgun) is I believe from Formosa. Was converted from match, to pill-lock. Been meaning to post it on here, but it slips my mind.
