Both would be classed as Section 5 here now

Those are a pair of real classics, Roy.

I own a couple of pinfires. They are interesting little pieces, but never struck me as being a very "sturdy" piece of kit. I'm not sure how long the pinfire era lasted, but it seems as though they never really caught on.
