These are NOT router bits. But, if you want a case for them, this
is the best looking type I've seen yet.

Looks more like 10, 12, 16, 28, and 410 gauge. But kinda short I think.

Snap caps.

But rather fance ones, for fancy shotguns, I suppose...

Yep, that's what they are. Fancy indeed. For a matched set of
British double shotguns. Can you imagaine how much a matched set of
Purdys, or similar, would cost? Ran across them on a site listing
cased double, "expensive" cased doubles, in fact, VERY expensive cased
doubles. They didn't say, but I wouldn't be surprised if the snap caps
were handmade also.

To protect the firing pin? or the end of the barrel?

The former. Snap caps go in the chamber in place of a shell or
cartridge. They usually have a small spring under a brass cap where
the primer would be in a normal cartridge. That way the firing pin
will strike a point that "gives" when struck, while still providing
enough resistance so that the rear of the firing pin does not contact
the rear of the frame, possibly causing damage to one or the other.
With many of the fine old English guns the hammer spring is actually
rather weak and can take a "set" if the weapon is left cocked while in
storage. To avoid this the trigger is pulled to release the spring
tension prior to putting the gun away.

As to cost, depending on grade and condition, a 5 gauge set of matched
Purdeys could be worth as much as a medium sized house in Dallas (say
150K), at the low end, only as much as a good truck.

I have a Purdey (standard grade 12 gauge (2 1/2" shells)) that
belonged to my father, picked up in London during WWII, that I have
been offered a bunch of bucks for. It is truly a work of art even in
standard grade.

Regards.

Kind of limiting ain't it. Them router bits breed like
rabbits. If you don't keep them separated you'll be
up to your ass in them within a month.

I'm working on keeping mine on separate shelves,
in a closed wall cabinet so they don't sneak off and
copulate under the router table or in my wood stach.

Haven't got the knife hinges installed right yet
but I'm hoping too before the router bit population
fills the shop
