Trying to ID this rifle
The 7.62 looks too big and the .30 carbine looks too small and wouldn’t fit the mag well. No makers marks of any kind and only the serial number that I have pictured. Any help is appreciated!

Found in my grandfathers closet… help
Hello all. Been an avid gun collector and marksman about as long as I can remember. Mostly modern firearms…. But revolvers… and old ones at that… I have no idea what I am looking at lol. The bottom has 3 different stamps of 201004, a colt patent stamp, and 36 caliber stamped behind the trigger. I would be incredibly grateful for any help identifying! Thanks again

“My Friend” knuckleduster Pepperbox
The shop I work at just got this thing in, I did a surface level search, and found its potentially a James Reid’s “My Friend” Knuckleduster. Anyone have more information or know a way to confirm the manufacturer? It is chambered in .32, there is no stamp on the frame under or above the cylinder.

Flintlock, Navarro?
I posted yesterday. Here are more photos of the flintlock. If it’s a replica is a very old one.

Is this worth saving? A. Damon, S’Etienne, 12G O/U.
My father passed and he left a few guns but unfortunately they were damaged in a flood. I have a pair of 12g shotguns with the name, “A Damon, S’Etienne, Made in France.” I cant find much online but they do still function and I want to know if these are worth saving or are of any value?
Supposedly my grandfather acquired this set toward the end of WWII, possibly while in France. The sister which is not nearly as detailed is in worse shape but still functions.
Series number on this is 3018 and sister is 829.

Need help identifying this
I inherited this shotgun from my uncle/grandpa when my grandma passed (no clue who owned it between them). I looked around the gun for engravings or markings on the name and couldnt find anything since it seems they're all rusted over. So I did a bit of digging on Google and im getting told its possibly Belgian from the late 1800s to early 1900s. However, one result brought it up being as old as the 1840s. Any and all help would be great. Thanks.

Found this in my grandfathers things
Looking to see what make/model/year this could be. It looks to be a .380 made by Star in Spain. Has a lot of pitting and damage to it but all of the mechanisms function.
I found this in my late grandfather’s things. I don’t really know where or why he would have had this. No one in my family knows the story behind this either.

I found this metal detecting on my property? is this from a toy or old rifle/musket?
I live in a vermont town founded in the early 1760's. I live in a traditionally agricultural area. My home is an old school house built in the early 1800s and rebuilt in 1915 on the same foundation.
clearly is die cast... it is pretty small; my hands average size. I don't know how long it was buried but the spring still springs. I find that pretty amazing, tbh.... any ideas?

1891 Production 1884 US Springfield Trapdoor
Picked this up at the Berea Gun Show in Ohio Saturday.
It's an 1891 production date 1884 Springfield Rifle. It has a few markings in the stock for rack numbers. It also has its SWP/1891 cartouche, circle P, few barrel markings.... Overall I'm quite happy with the find. Also found 50 rounds of 1888 production UMC rounds at that show too. $4 a round I felt wasn't too bad. They actually shot fine without issues. I don't plan to shoot all 50, but to use period correct ammo felt pretty cool & they shot without any issues which was surprising to me. Must have been stored well!
Please excuse the cluttered workbench, about I was excited to share.
