Bought these in France

Reluctantly talked into visiting a car boot sale in France whilst on, holiday told wife and kids there'd be nothing there of any interest to me, well they proved me wrong..🤣🤣 bought for 10 euro..hanging in the deer shed....
What a find!
Perfect example of Capreolus Gallicus Limpwristicus - lucky boy!

In 2024 no less I bought sixteen plastic decoy woodpigeons at a brocante/vide grenier being held ouside Sacre Coeur in Montmartre on Rue Azais. Cost me 15€ the sixteen. Came back with me to UK on the Eurostar. Usually all the sporting and military stuff gets sold at arms fairs for which the ABC website is your friend. Proper arms fairs. With guns and shooting accessories not just only badges and buttons as some many here in the UK have become. And food and proper coffee.


Over the years I have been able to get to one or two of these I bought one of those crank in and crank out six metre air weapon target winder devices with box full of targets, a hand held Berdan decapper tool, a couple of French military manuals giving details of revolver and pistol qualification courses (in the 1924 book one shot wearing gas mask and one in low light) and a shooting competition medal.

My doorbell. People don't mess with hunters here, so it's good to advertise! Friend bought the trotter at a vide grenier and I found a good use for it.20250115_230139.webp
