Junk shops finds
While waitng for the Mrs today I had a wander around a local junk shop, i bought this:

Ok, so its not a BP gun, but it is helluva cool!
However, they also had this:

The butt is broken and loose, but the mechanism appears to be complete and moving and the front edge of the hammer has wear from use. The seller would accept £80, which seems steep to me!
Then he brought out this:

An Adams revolver, very rare and very valuable apparently? I'm not so sure?
Lastly, I found this lovely little boxed pair:

Ok, so they're cap guns, but they work, have half the original "bullets", and one still has the ram rod. Trouble is, as they use black powder to fire a projectile I think they may technically be section 1!!
Any thoughts on any of the above?
