  1. I got mine last night when I went and saw a friend. Beautiful box with a nice quill and homemade ink that I should be using at Alafia Rendezvous here in a week. Years ago Ivan Henry had a batch of those flasks but the tips were shorter. The top would unscrew, veteran arms sells a new one that size but they are all brass. It looks like yours has a new tip probably to make priming easier.
  2. Looks like an ornament or is functional?
  3. I'll see if I can wrestle it from his hands at some point.
  4. Anything coming to me is no rush, I'm away from home and won't be back for months. I shall put in a pirate appearance at the rendezvous here in FL.
  5. Haven't received anything and will be on the road tomorrow so maybe when I get back in Feb or March
  6. Birthday, got a miquelet and it works!
  7. Well it's pretty much together. I could drill it at this time and fire it although I do want to go over the steel first.
  8. I wonder with panther closing their doors how that will effect the used tent sales. Ill be heading to alafia rendezvous next month. Last year very few tents for sale, the year before tons at great prices.
  9. At this point i decided to weigh it 4.5 pounds .85 caliber a beast
  10. I starte work on this new piece and as you can see it is still a work in progress but I thought you would like to see regardless. It is a Spanish circa early 1700 when Spain began adopting the french style lock (the unbridled frizen and miquelet style cock date it as an early version of what would become common) this would have been built for a wealthy nobleman, someone travelling to the new world or returning overseeing the shipment of his property. Such a weapon if seized by pirates would have been selected by someone of high rank upon division of the prize. It is very well proportioned and does not show its size (.85 caliber 4.5 lbs!) a true beast that could fend off most any attack yet still worn on a belt.
  11. Just got online with the computer rather than the akward phone and saw this. If theres room im in.
  12. 50 cal rifle and 62 smooth on top, 32 rifle on bottom
  13. Currently prices are going up daily. If you find a deal grab it
  14. Blueing/patina/full lock tuning available at additional cost. French Charleville, English heavy dragoon, sea service, and French heavy dragoon.
