Are you talking about black powder wedges? There's usually a few of those on ebay.

Most of the originals are found corroded and pitted and shouldn't be trusted. I know that your country has been disarmed. Are you still able to buy black powder? If you're a little handy, and really have an urge to blow things apart, you could probably keep watching ebay for the different examples and build your own. Just remember, before you touch it off you have to say the Rednecks famous last words----"Hey, everybody, watch this"
