hey how's it going good I got these
crutches here that I wanted to kind of
check out they're not only crutches they
had like a pistol on him okay how much
you want for these things
honestly I don't I have no clue you're
telling me information that Ike has
blowing my mind right now so I have no
clue they're work I have a buddy who
will know all about this stuff
okay and if you give me 15-20 minutes
I'll get him down here cool okay all
right don't touch them Joe hey guys Hey
so it's not quite a peg leg gun but it's
pretty close there flintlocks
they looked late 18th early 19th century
so I'm figuring it was an officer with
the peg leg basically he doesn't know
anything about him and he won't admit it
but that's why we called you down here
okay do you mind if I pick it up yeah
please yeah help yourself so I'll just
start with the pistols they are
flintlock Wow
that is so cool so normally there'd be a
side plate here right which holds the
the lock to the wood of a stock they did
away with the side plate and actually
put in sort of little brass washers on
each end and you can see the screw is
designed so they took the original
screws created brass washers and just
put them grafted them right into like a
it looks like an existing pair of
crutches so basically you would have it
here it would be loaded and you kind of
bring it up and fire it's so cool
so what do you think it's worth normally
I'd like to give you an immediate
evaluation and a price I'm not there
with these I'd really like to test-fire
that's doing
let me get my phone will change numbers
and we'll get to the range okay all
right that sounds you're there you're
right back all right thanks
are you ready to fire these things yeah
I think we are um are there any
volunteers for firing them that's why
I'm here she's got to be good at
something I set up some apples on
strings because they're kind of fun they
aim at it's gonna be very hard to hit
them so I want you to get pretty close
if you're gonna find okay all right all
right you guys come over here I'm gonna
load them all right so go ahead and put
on your eyes and ears this is triple F
black powder okay okay so this one's
gonna be ready and that one's ready are
you ready to Chum
all right Rick I told you once I'll tell
you again I'm gonna need that raise
not bad for a one-legged captain I think
I got her might that's how it's done
well they work and chump didn't kill
himself all right pretty freakin awesome
yeah so what do you think they're worth
it's hard to value something like this
because it's you know you haven't seen
another one come through but I think the
association with the engraving of the
name of the captain Morris and his
association which are Fowler and the
fact that they're so unique and that
they work I think at the right auction
25,000 for all right I'm gonna leave you
to it
yeah can you give me a ride absolutely
buddy okay so what were you take from
Alex they had 25 racks I want 25 racks
well good luck with that if you want to
put in an auction you can go get paid a
year and a half now I don't know
anything about ox
oh yeah so I'll give you 10 grand well I
made it valued at 25 can we go let's go
20 here we go 20 that's about twenty
thousand I might get $20,000 if I sell
for 25 there's okay okay I'll be I'll be
fair I'll give you 13 grand
what about 15 we go to 15 at least
I mean come on
you know if there is always the
possibility to go for more than that at
auction I could do much better so you
know what I'll risk of 15 yeah that's
all right thank you um so bring them
down to the shop we'll do some paperwork
or get you paid okay
that's pretty awesome I'm more than
happy with $15,000 because that's more
than what I walked in with and it's way
more than what I was expecting
also the fact that it's a little piece
of history to it that makes it even more
valuable just to me personally and I did
that
