You might take a look at the latest Double Gun Journal. There's an article about an absolutely stunning pinfire toward the end of the magazine. Just looked at the photos so far (I always go through the entire issue looking at pictures before reading the articles), so I can't tell you much more about it.
Thanks for the heads-up. Bar-in-wood pinfires are stunning, and it is nice to see an article discussing one.
I have focussed my research on the British pinfire game gun to appreciate them and the technology they advanced. To come back to the original point of this thread, just because a gun cant or shouldnt be shot, it shouldnt be dismissed as having no value, or to be of no interest. They are no longer hunting tools, true, but they are artifacts from a bygone age. They are still wonderful to hold and admire. That is reason enough to own one. It is a shame there is so little available information on them, something I hope to improve in the near future.
