Outstanding craftsmanship! How much time was involved in this
project? I have read that even some royalty couldn't afford these
wheellock guns.

In English: An absolutely beautiful work, true art.  Wonderful skill and designs also.  Is it real ivory?  What type of wood?  Please forgive the language - translated into Polish on computer

Absolutnie piękny praca (roboczy), prawda (prawdziwy) sztuka (artystyczny). Cudowna zręczność i przeznacza (projektuje) także. Jest to prawdziwa kość słoniowa? Jaki drewno (drewniany)? Sprawiać przyjemność (proszę) wybaczają język (językowy) - przetłumaczył (przetłumaczony; przetłumaczył; przetłumaczony; przeprowadził) do Języka polskiego (blask) na komputerze

It means: I want to shoot your pistol and take you to Dixon's Gunmaker's Fair.

...and to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC.

 raszpla,

    Fantastic work! I cant' imagine the talent you must have. A machinist background with a large dose of artist and a fantastic mechanical mind. Wow! If you ever go to Dixon's Gun Fair be sure and let us all know you are coming. I would like to meet you. Well done and again thanks for taking the time to share. Bob
