  11. I've seen a few of the later 18th - early19th century knives that are rather reasonable, plain janes like the Russell's Green River knives or the Missouri belt knife or a scalper carried by Nantahala Trading Post. Though later than GAoP period they are plain handled and basic design carbon steel blades they retain a bit of timelessness in their utility. What say all to their use in making up a period sailor's kit? Jas. Hook
  12. Yeah! This 1771, Boston TeaParty, (out of period I know)but I always wanted to recreates the guy in this picture, the seaman with the sailors kilt (?)/ slops (?) and the bludgeon! I love this picture even though it is a brutal scene. Basic garb right there for the period though. Bo Time to turn down that old baseball bat in the garage. Could also be an old version of a fish bat... think of Quint smashing the radio in Jaws. A tool of the trade commonly used by fisherman to subdue large fish. Jas. Hook
  13. Geez, the 'Hawk' "...the last standard-bearer for the Jolly Roger for the whole of New York City!" gets a write up in the magazine by Cap'n Slappy (page 49-50) and then misses getting a copy in the worlds largest city.
