Treasure Hunt all over the World

After entering the hall, Ye Tian did not immediately go to the two lighted rooms on the east side, but walked straight to the south end of the hall.

He was going to check the crates first to see if his guess was correct.

Are those boxes actually used to hold rifles? Are there antique flintlock rifles inside?

Seeing his actions, the guys in front of the monitoring screen couldn't help being a little dumbfounded!

After a while, Matisse asked curiously:

"Steven, what are you doing? How did you get to the south side of the hall?"

Ye Tian did not hide it, but told the truth.

"I'm going to see what's in those boxes. If it's good, there's probably a large number of antique firearms there. If so, it's a lot of money!"

"That's it, I hope it's what you want!"

Mattis responded and said nothing.

While speaking, Ye Tian had already walked to the pile of crates.

as predicted!

These are wooden boxes for rifles, about two meters long and fifty centimeters wide, made of oak boards, all painted black, strong and rough! Some words are written on the box in yellow paint.

Although after more than 200 years, the paint has fallen off a lot, but it does not affect Ye Tian's recognition of these text messages!

The year of manufacture is clearly written on the black boxes, as well as the names of the contents and the owners of the boxes.

"1783, Pennsylvania Rifles, Society of the Sons of Liberty!"

These are the three most important pieces of information revealed by the text on the box.

In 1783, the year when the American Revolutionary War ended, the Pennsylvania Rifle is another name for the Kentucky Long Rifle, indicating that these rifles were produced in Pennsylvania!

As for the Association of the Sons of Liberty, it is even more famous. The American Revolutionary War can be said to be the first of the "Sons of Liberty Association".

The statue of the horse on the ground,

Paul Rivera is a member of the "Sons of Liberty Association".

Before and during the war, the Old North Church had always been one of the strongholds of the Sons of Liberty Association.

Seeing these words, Ye Tian instantly understood the origin of these antique firearms and why they appeared in this underground palace.

Before the end of the Revolutionary War, the Sons of Liberty ordered these rifles and shipped them from Pennsylvania to Boston, where they were kept secretly in this underground warehouse, ready to be dispatched to Continental Army soldiers.

But before these weapons were distributed, the war was over, and these weapons have remained here since then, becoming stock weapons at the bottom of the press box.

For more than 200 years, these weapons have been sleeping here, and over time, they have changed from killing weapons to antique firearms.

It was not until the guy Thompson discovered this place by accident, and after 30 years, he tracked it back, and this batch of weapons ushered in the opportunity to see the sun again!

This conjecture needs no confirmation at all, no doubt!

When walking into these boxes within twenty meters, the large dazzling red light reflected in Ye Tian's eyes had already explained everything.

From the intensity of the light, he instantly determined the age of these weapons!

But when he got closer, he immediately turned on the perspective, and looked at the pile of crates full of antique firearms, there might be some surprising discoveries!

As far as the eye can see, at a glance!

His sight penetrated these crates in an instant, and he could see clearly what was inside the boxes.

Brand new flintlock rifles wrapped in tarpaulins were lying quietly in the crates, exuding a faint cold light.

There are nine guns in each box, arranged in three layers, neatly arranged, and the total number is almost a thousand guns, which is quite an astonishing number!

Every gun in the box is covered with grease, and although it has dried up, the traces are clearly visible. There is no trace of rust on the brass fittings, and they are still shiny and shiny, just like new.

Obviously, these are a batch of Kentucky long guns that have never been used. They are in good condition. They should be regarded as relatively rare antique firearms and have a certain market value!

In the crate, in addition to the Kentucky long gun, there are also accessory boxes necessary for each gun, as well as the bayonet that braves the cold light and is extremely sharp. All accessories are not lacking, very complete!

The existence of these original accessories will undoubtedly greatly enhance the value of these antique firearms.

And here is not only the Kentucky pistol, but also another famous contemporaneous flintlock rifle.

That is the Charleville infantry gun from France, an improved version in 1766. It is a rare antique firearm that is very popular in the antique firearms market and is of great value.

These improved Charleville infantry guns are also brand new firearms with complete accessories and well-preserved, quite collectible, rare!

During the American Revolutionary War, France was a staunch ally of the Americans, not only providing a large number of weapons and ammunition to the Continental Army, but also sending troops to directly participate in the war.

The Marquis of Lafayette is one of the most famous representatives! He not only prepared his own warships and recruited personnel to participate in the American Revolutionary War, but also became a senior officer of the Continental Army, serving as the commander of the Washington avant-garde.

Later, Lafayette returned to France and personally persuaded the French king to let him take 6,000 French soldiers to the United States to fight in the United States until the United States became independent!

He made great contributions to American independence and became a lifelong friend of many of the founding fathers of the United States.

In order to commemorate the Marquis of Lafayette, Washington, New York, Boston and other big cities have an avenue named "Lafayette Avenue", which is second only to the main road in the city.

Because of France and America's staunch allies during the war, it's no surprise that there's a brand new flintlock rifle from France!

Seeing these antique fire rifles, Ye Tian's eyes were quite hot, but he wasn't too excited.

However, when he continued to investigate further, he suddenly found a rare treasure, which immediately made him feel a little itchy.

In the center of the pile of crates, there is a box containing Charleville infantry guns. It is ordinary, and it looks no different from other crates.

But in Ye Tian's eyes, he could see the difference in this box at a glance!

Like the other crates, this one radiates a dazzling red light, indicating that the contents are dated from the mid-to-late eighteenth century, accurate!

What is different is that the halo attached to the outer surface of this box is twice as many as other crates, reaching as many as twelve layers, which is very charming and full of temptation!

What this means, Ye Tian couldn't be clearer!

artwork! Valuable artwork, and two, in this crate!

perspective! What are you waiting for?

The line of sight penetrated the sturdy oak board, and the situation in the box was clearly seen in an instant!

The first thing that caught Ye Tian's eyes was the three French Charleville infantry guns placed staggered, as well as the complete accessories.

But these three rifles were no different from the other Charleville infantry guns here, and they were not the targets that made Ye Tian's heart flutter.

Clearly, there is something else inside this crate.

The perspective continues, and the secret is immediately revealed.

The line of sight passed through two layers of six Charleville infantry guns one after another, as well as the tarpaulin wrapping the rifles. At the bottom of the crate, Ye Tian saw two delicate black walnut boxes.

The moment he saw these two black walnut boxes, a look of surprise flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, and he almost cheered, but he managed to hold back!

He immediately understood what was in the box, and the scene he saw next also accurately confirmed his judgment.

The line of sight penetrated the solid black walnut wood, and immediately saw a pair of pistols lying quietly in the box, elegant and atmospheric, but exuding a deadly cold light!

The two pistols are of the same model. The main body of the gun is dark red cherry wood. The streamlined grip gives people a very harmonious feeling. The entire gun body has been oiled, which looks very bright.

All metal parts are made of sterling silver with the exception of the bottom plate and reticule, which are made of brass and sparkle! Beautifully engraved on these metal pieces, they are Georgian-style reliefs.

This is the 1748 Hawkins flintlock pistol from the United Kingdom, the most famous pistol during the Revolutionary War. This is what Washington used, and it is famous in American history!

Of course, these two pistols could not have been used by Washington.

The Hawkins flintlock gun he used was kept in a museum in Pennsylvania at this time, under heavy security, it was impossible to appear here!

As far as the pistol itself is concerned, the two in front of me are much more beautiful than the Washington one. It can be said that it is a work of art in the pistol, which is very rare!

The more than a dozen charming halos on the two pistols also accurately illustrate this point.

There is no doubt that these are two flintlock pistols crafted and handcrafted by the top gunsmiths, extremely rare antique firearms! Collection value is very high! The artistic value is extraordinary!

Their market value is equally otherworldly! At the current rate, this pair of antique pistols has almost no problem exceeding a million dollars if they appear at auction.

The best reference for these two pistols is the Hawkins flintlock that Washington used!

That pistol once circulated in the antique market for a period of time, and the price was as high as 2 million US dollars, but that was the price of N years ago, and God knows how much it is worth now, it must be a sky-high price!

And the reason why the pistol was withdrawn from the circulation market was the result of the intervention of the US government. They took back the pistol in the name of "the most important weapon in American history"!

As the same pistol, although these two Hawkins flintlock pistols do not have such great historical significance, they should not be underestimated, not to mention that they are a pair of pistols, and they are even more beautiful!

Therefore, once these two pistols appear on the market, it will definitely cause a shock in the field of antique firearms collection! It will also be wildly chased by countless people!

In addition to being works of art, these two pistols are also murderous weapons, which is their nature!

They have never been fired, and protected by the oil and tarpaulin, all parts of the pistol are in perfect condition, almost like new.

As long as they are carefully cleaned and maintained, these two 200-year-old guns will be rejuvenated immediately. Once loaded with gunpowder and bullets, their power will definitely not be reduced in the past!

Looking at these two extremely exquisite antique pistols, Ye Tian's eyes couldn't help but become more and more burning, and his heart was secretly filled with emotion.

"This is still a weapon used in the battlefield. It is simply the top art in a pistol. It's so beautiful!"

Although he liked these two pistols very much, he felt itchy when he saw them, but Ye Tian never thought of taking them out immediately and quietly taking them away!

Now is not the time, there is an opportunity in the future!

Thirty years have passed, and Thompson has not found these two rare antique pistols, so it is impossible for him to find these two treasures in the future!

"These two beautiful and charming 1748 Hawkins will definitely belong to my buddy in the future. Their best destination is to become my buddy's private collection"

Ye Tian continued to appreciate the two pistols, and then looked away to look at the other boxes.
