Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Nice job, I like the powder horn..where did you get it? Not sure, it's been a bit. They are available at many places though for about $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Nice job, I like the powder horn..where did you get it? Not sure, it's been a bit. They are available at many places though for about $20. I see them on eBay pretty frequently for about $14 or so... And if you are patient enough, I have seen vendors at re-enactment who sell them for as cheap as $12 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Or you could go to Track of the Wolf and spend 10-20 times that amount! Oh, but my, aren't they gorgeous? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster James Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 There are a few guys who regularly have horns on the trade blanket over at the TMA site. Also, a gentleman named Austin Walker sells some fine horns over on eBay. Good plain horns, wood pegged, around the $40 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jim Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I hate to tell ye mate, but she's probably a better shot than you: look where the muzzles are pointed. If the breech plug on hers was polished I believe it would have reflected the flash. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Captain Jim Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I once saw a photo of several, five or so, fast-draw champions pointing their guns at the camera. All of them reflected the light from the flash off the face of the breech. Don't piss off those guys... My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Captain McCool Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I dig it. Nice stuff, mate. And I really like your sheath knife, which incidentally looks a helluvalot like my own. By any chance, is the maker's mark a tiny little canoe?

Captain McCool Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) It occurrs to me that I have not yet put up any pictures of myself in garb on this thread, which boggles the mind, as I tend to be a raging narcicist. Well, I shall remedy the situation forthwith. Here ye go, folks. Jack McCool, Irish-highwayman-turned-pirate. Pretty much none of the kit is period accurate as of yet, but we're working on it. For now, I'm pleased with my Hollywood Pyrate kit. Okay, that should be about enough of me to last you folks a lifetime...

j8ksdad Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the replies gentlemen. William, The phone is kind of prominent. Always glad to tell people about it. Captain Jack, Yes it is the same knife. Great kit by the way! Mr. Cross, I have my tailor (mother-in-law) working on some ticken breaches to go along.

Captain McCool Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks! And in regards to the knife, do you happen to know who exactly makes those? I bought mine from the Mountain Man - this little re-enactment store down near Colorado Springs, about an hour and a half away from me - and I haven't been able to get back there since. I'd be interested to see some more of that particular maker's stuff, but I don't remember the name the guy at the shop gave me. All I have to go on is the tiny canoe.

Captain McCool Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Groovy, thanks! Using said PM I actually found out that the maker is Dean Oliver, of a company called River Traders. They've got some really nice knives.

LadyBarbossa Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Pretty sharp there, J8ks. Especially th' brown linen waistcoat. Right nice there, it is. And th' ticken... equally sharp. Nice combination with th' metal buttons. Aye, I'm with Cross on this one, McCool. It's still a good outfit. :) But ye be not too far from th' marker unlike some others. So, pat yo'rself on th' back. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
