  6. Kind of like when Israel Hand went up the mast after Jim Hawkins in Treasure Island. Jas. Hook Speakin' from my experience as a frontier fighter during the French & Indian War, and my experience on the Frontier of Virginia afore I took ta Privateering for the American War effort in 1778....Why the Hell would ya want ta throw away a perfectly good weapon. As stated earlier, it's a functional up-close and inside weapon. Samething with hatchets and boarding axes....It makes more sense ta throw your pistol after you've shot it and closed for battle, but then again pistols make excellent clubs in the hand of a master. Just my two schillings worth...I'm comin' back with all my weapons and maybe more, or I'm goin' ta Hell with em.....

  9. Brit Privateer......I was wrong on the name of those striped blankets and still not shure what they're called, but here is a page to give you the idea of what they look like.http://www.nwtrader.com/hand-woven_early_blankets.html
  10. Brit Privateer.....I don't profess to be an expert on this subject....but....I checked your blanket source...and they look affordable and fairly correct. Hudson Bays are perfectly correct but I would stay with solids or single stripes. Either Early's or Hudson Bay makes one called a Gangaroo I believe is the name that is a series of one colored stripe throughout the whole blanket which I think to de earlier than single or multiple stripes. You can never go wrong with solid white or gray and the cruder the weave the better....Just my two cents worth. Check out the highlander sites they can date plaids and common blankets better than I and most pirates came from Scottish and Irish roots so I believe their early period blankets to be correct. Great Kilts have been around forever and they're nothing more than a plaid blanket. Check the flea marts...You can usually come up with some good Hudsons. Ya can't beat Hudsons, Early's, or Whitney's for warmth. You can find some good buys on ebay as well.
  11. drtyhnd1@sbcglobal.net .....Ken Falletti....awesome work....reasonable......might Trade.....I thuink you saw the pictures of mine that he made.....Iron Hand
  12. I was enjoying the pictures and realized me and Callenish have something more than hobbies in common. What do you think?
  13. Let me see how she shapes up after replacin' the sear spring and a little polishin'. But I have considered turnin' her over to a professional, so that's still an option.
  14. I believe I remembered someone on the Pub discussing how to tune a Pedersoli Queene Anne correctly. I just aquired one that is need of some repair. I noticed the Hammer was not forcing the Frizzen open completely and the Flint was not lining up with the pan at the touch hole. After finding a roughly appropriate size flint, the sear spring mysteriously broke. I ordered a new sear spring today from Track of the Wolf, but would appreciate any guidence on making this gun spot on as far as ease of trigger pull and spring life. I heard they had mainspring issues as well.Any advice is greatly appreciated.
