Ivan Henry aka Moose

why yes I can! Talk to you soon about the Columbus Details...

Just added musket / blunderbuss canvas bags and Collar of Bandoliers (aka Apostles) to the accessory section! A period correct baldric (very nice) is also coming soon! Ivan Henry Accessories

Wow Andrew -that leaves a lot open to things i don't want recorded in print - Happy legal bday though Mr. Cross -

Just wondering if anyone out there makes a Handgonne.. Also, would a serpentine model (later handgonne) have been used at Drake's Raid 1586? I am thinking that at that point, a functional serpentine handgonne might have still seen some limited use - why through away a good (if not goofy) early matchlock? My initial research says they were in use in the 16th century - any insight or makers?

YEs... :et me see what I can do.

One event for this time period = a nice blade that is correct, but it's a one use annual (disregarding Renfairs, sword) Are ALL the one's I listed correct for the time period?

Thanks for the Boots by Bohemond link - just ordered a pair!

Hey 16th Century Sword Experts - So what would be an appropriate sword for 1586? I have done a little research and found these:

Thanks! Good to hear! Liam made me a Jerkin and some breeches - I just wanted to make sure that was what was Kosher for the period... I have my matchlock as well. Very excited!

I do so love my wobble bottle - it has a special place in the storage area

We'll be there! Any good sources for appropriate clothes, swords, guns, etc?

Thanks! 1696 French musket and my 1615 pistol are sold. Stock has been difficult to get lately - check out what I have left from the new shipment still lots of stuff left in the store!

Just got a bunch of stuff back in stock! Check out www.ivanhenry.com Back in: Light Dragoon Pistol English Sea Service Pistol French 1720 Cavalry Pistol British Dragoon Pistol and more!

There is so many problems with that statement I choose silence....

Read it this morning and laughed all over again - nice work....

Michael - really considering this one. So I can sleep in or around the boat?

Ahoy! There is a possibility that the wife and I may make a last minute decision and fly up for this. My question - is there any spare room in the encampment for us? By that, I mean: 1. Is there room for two more PCers in the Encampment 2. If so, does anyone attending own a spare tent we could use, as we would be flying in. 3. If not, does anyone have spare space for a privateer and his port wench? I'll buy rum and ale for our gracious hosts....

I got this wild idea this weekend - perhaps not wild... I would like to make some grenadoes that could be used in a reenactment battle. Yes, folks, I want to toss around some bombs. My first thought is to make a reusable greanadoe that could house a smoke bomb. Light and toss - smoke comes out, no harm to anyone. My questions are: Anyone have an idea on how to make it go boom and still be okay for reenactments? Anyone have any construction ideas? Anyone who organizes events - Would a person be allowed to toss around a few faux grenadoes? I think this is a cool idea - just need to figure out how to execute it - so to speak.

WHy thanks my friend, I am honored.

Here be a new pic of me wearing the justaucorps I recently got. Yeah I know, it's not dirty... Believe it or not, the slops are - it was just sunny!

I think a good bit of this is now with me... :-) Like I needed it! Thanks for the great deals Andrew!

Nice work DB!
