Thumbs up Antique Flints

Getting tired of buying 2-3 in a pack for 12 dollars of those commercialized made flints. I bought a lot of 1790, original flints. They were cut back then to fit the old muskets. These are a much higher grade flint, they spark every time and dont seem to break or wear down as fast. They DO need NAPPED down to size because they are much larger. I am selling these for 15.00 for 15 of them!! Because they are originally from the 1790's, many people are buying them to make a little display case instead of using them in their flintlocks. I will ship for an extra 5.25 and do except paypal.Below is the write up on these flints when I purchased them:

"These are the 19th century British issue Gun Flints that are from The Royal Armory of Nepal. In 2003 these flints were discovered piled four feet deep under a floor of The Royal Armory.They date somewhere in the 1790's."
