Will,

Count me in for a pike head to go with the fantastic axe and grapnel hook I got from you last year.

Nice looking piece.

Cheers

Sebastian

Gentleman and ladies,

I have listed an unused .735 Lyman single cavity mold for sale. This will include the single cavity mold, the handles, and instructions.

Looking at $50.00 for this item-it lists for 80 plus on their website.

Also listed is a 1640's-1690's Doglock Pistol from Loyalist Arms. This pistol has not been shot or even sparked. Iron hardware-not brass. Looking to get 230.00 for it (lists for 305 on website).

Pics available by emailing me at piratesebastian@aol.com.

Your continued servant,

Sebastian

Well isn't that special. I am working on a Long John silver costume like the great Chuck Heston, and something like that would be a nice belt dagger as he wore.

Smashing work as always.

Cheers

Sebastian

Very fine indeed. Do you turn your own barrels. If not, can I ask you where you get them as well as such a nifty little lock.

Cheers

Sebastian

Wes,

Here is another baldric for consideration. Always willing to trade for bits and pieces.

This one just needs a good home.

Cheers

Sebastian

Wes, are you sure we aren't separated at birth. I'm 42 and have been reenacting Ancient Rome, Viking, French and Indian, Rev War, and Cowboy for the past 15-20 years. Started in piracy due to the more congenial folks. I got two boys and am into making things very few people want anymore as well.

Anyhow, I have been a member, but did not introduce myself to the forum until recently.

Cheers to you,

Sebastian

Truth be told, I run a pirate themed birthday party business. This gives me ample opportunity for recruitment as any given month has me in front of 15-45 kids telling stories, teaching pirate speech, learning piratical skills etc.

All that said and done, I usually throw a large pirate themed party for the upcoming holy day of TLAP, this year however, we are holding off on the party for a variety of reasons. That does not mean that I will be idle. A few cohorts and I will drink a little rum, sing a few songs, play a few games, and carry on like good lads and lasses.

Cheers to you,

Sebastian

Not to take away from Mr. Bagley's fine work, but I can suggest a leather worker who made a fine port. for me.

www.pepespossibles.com

His work is top notch and I have acquired many leather items from him over the years (the portmanteau, several belts, a fantastic scabbard and from for my sword, a cartridge box and a wallet). All great work and have held up over the years of hard labor that my wife has placed me under.

Cheers

Sebastian

Thanks for the greetings. Here is another pic of me in my element-sharing pirate tales with the wee ones.

BTW, the lass looking away is me niece, she rarely looks me in the eye anyway.

Always looking to increase the pirate count across this great country.

Cheers

Sebastian

Greetings and salutations.

Been a long time member, but kept meself below decks. Some minor postings and commentaries, but no pics or formal how de dos.

In an effort to remedy that delequincy, I present the following.

I have meet a few of you at various events and talked with a few of you on this forum.

Cheers

Sebastian

John over at Machinestchest.com sent me a heads up on a 17th medicine chest that I hadn't seen on eBay. You can find the auction here. It is going for the princely sum of $20,000 which is a bit outside of my price range for re-enactment items. In fact, it is a bit outside of my price range for most things, other than automobiles. It also includes many surgical instruments many of which I know are typical to period (some of them I'm not so sure - like the metal medical containers.)

Note that I do not think this is a sea chest because the design is different than all the sea chests I have seen thus far. It also would appear to be too small for a ocean going surgeon, because such surgeons had to carry all the medicines they would need for the voyage to their destination. This isn't to say it couldn't be carried to sea for more local use, but I suspect it is for a land-based surgeon. Still, it is a lovely piece and so I am sharing it. Thanks to John for the heads up.

The auction says:

"Offered to you is this Extremely Rare 18th century (1700s) antique medical doctor's mahogany chest with various instruments and equipment inside. This chest was used between 1700 and 1760. The case is made of mahogany wood, reinforced with bronze and lined with velvet plush. It opens as a convenient chest with drawers. Remnants of labels in Latin on some of the drawers. There is a secret lockable drawer on the back, which was used to store some tools made of gold as well as special medicines. The handle is made of bronze and has a special bed designed for it so it doesn't protrude.

Such chests were used by naval and military doctors and contained everything needed to perform basic surgical and other manipulations whenever a hospital wasn't available. There are various instruments used in giving lifesaving first aid to soldiers suffering bullet or sharp object wounds, as well as original equipment used in the making of various medicines. There is an amputation saw, surgical needles, scalpel, scissors and bullet probes made of natural bone, as well as metal bullet extractor (scoop). Various other apothecary equipment as scales, bottles, jars etc. Dimensions: 11" x 10" x 7". Truly a collector's piece that would proudly take its place in any museum or private collection."

There are a ton more pics on the auction which I won't reprint here for bandwidth reasons, but of all the instruments, I really like the scissors:

Just a recommendation, me hearties. This book, 'Flint and Silber' by Drake is a fine read for those still besotten with the Treasure Island theme. Not as dark as the book 'Silver' from a few years back, but still a nice piece of reading while sipping a fine rum by the fire.

I have the loyalist arms doglock pistol and love it. It sparks well, makes a loud bang, and hits a close target. All in a period correct pistol. I also have a Middlesex Village blunderbuss. Definitely a Hyundai, but I have stipped off the factory finish, removed a lot of stock from the wrist, browned the metal parts and gave a dark stain with lots of boiled linseed oil rubbed into the stock. Looks great, has character and, to my understanding, period appropriate. I bought the Loyalist from their shop (can't remember the price) and the blunderbuss from a friend for $175.00.

Because I like staying married, I do not see myself getting a custom period pistol at this time.

Your servant

Sebastian

Please do send me a PM and I will forward pics of the items you want to see. I have not yet figured out how to post pictures on the forum.

Your servant,

Sebastian (aka Greg)

I found the mystery game too limiting on the number of crew mates. It is good for about a dozen, but I hope you have more at your party than that.

Cheers,

Sebastian
