And I do mean Alec's. *g*
HERE is the link to the page on the National Museum of Scotland website. It is a Doune pistol made by Thomas Caddell (the First) in 1678.
Alec was 15 in 1678. His father bought the pistols for his birthday, to signify his status as a man of the clan. When he arrives in modern day, he sells them - Doune pistols are very rare collectors' items, quite literally worth their weight in gold. (And they're made of iron, so pretty heavy.) Needless to say, he's astounded at the price and has quite enough to finance himself for a while in his quest to find Elspeth. Too bad fake government documents are so expensive on the black market...
I maintain that the pistol above is one of the pistols Alec sold, and it somehow made its way from the antiques shop to the National Museum collection. *g*
