callenish gunner

the horn is made by Kathy England from Ohio her husband is a master knife/hawk maker ....i'm trying to convince her to let me sell her wares at some of the events i go to ....contact me and i'll put you in touch with her if you want a custom horn

a right handsome blade ye have there bess ...and i'm sure they'd accept from such a comely lass as yourself ....god knows i would

that might be doable capt. as soon as i get another from my wholesaler ....let's just say that the last couple of events have been pretty good to me ...sold the 8 blunderbusses that i had in stock ....should have more within the month ...i'll keep you posted

GG Godwins sword buckles Godwins there's a couple of good resources for buckles

thought i'd add a new acquistion to the thread the other side

the least you could do lad is give us an idea what you're looking for said ordinance .....a starting figure at the least!!!

glad to hear your summer is still on then skipper ....hope the lad is working out well for ye ....he seemed pretty excited about the prospects of the rest of the voyage have him send me some pics!!! and an email or two!!!!!

tis glad i am to see ye back among us lass ....wish they'd let me give ye some of m'blood ....but alas they won't take mine on a bad day ....B-alpha ...mine turns to concrete in most folks veins ....high clotting factor ...i'll keep you in m'prayers ....tis good to have such a beauty back among this crew of scurvvy doggs

good to keep the threads current so that plans are kept up to date

officer mat of the spring city PA police department is having to sit by his 5 yr. old daughter's bed side in AI DuPont hospital in delaware while she struggles with a kidney infection that has claimed her left kidney and is threatening to spread and claim the right one as well ...her name is Samantha and her dad calls her Sami ...so if you have it in your heart to say a prayer or two for this sweet little girl ...it couldn't hurt ...i know most of us pyrates have a soft spot for the wee ones

had a great time there but with as busy as i was all day saturday i didn't get to see too much of anything going on .....i will gladly do this event again!!! great folks ....hopefully some pyrates got pics of my booth that they could share ...i was too busy to take any myself ............ the campfire and the relative quiet of sunday's rainy on and off showers by mid-day but all in all it was a great festival!!!

great location for a festival ....your costumes are looking good!!!

have had several requests for a doglock blunderbuss ....well i have several both in brass and steel barrels ...for those interested make sure you contact me for what you're of a mind for and i'll do my best to have them available for PIP ....the price is under $500 ready to fire

i think you both have some valid points ...if we set the environment of the carreening encampment with some local sutlers coming ashore to give some credence for their being their ....we could include some musicians into the mix so as to give the attendees some other entertainment besides just the works of the camp and the battles and a trial/hanging it is about atmosphere that draws in the tourist crowd as well as just the history buffs ...it needs to be a larger than life experience to keep it growing for the reenactors so we have a continued place to gather and enjoy the comradre' of the brethren ....just m' tupence worth

yep!!! i'll have to be a very good pyrate this year so santa gunner brings me one or 2 of those

i have 4 linen shirts and about a dozen cotton checked shirts and a another 8 plain cotton shirts so i think i'm set i'm also trying to make sure i'll have a few there for sale as well

define cheap ......cheap guns are often not made well and can be disappointments in the long run ........... a well made gun that is safe and capable of firing a blankload or a live (shotted) load will most likely start over $200. used ...you have to be sure that you want to make such an investment because with that you'll need almost another $100+ in nessessary accessories such as -powder both priming and actual load powder (the wrong powder can get you hurt or killed) a powder horn, and measures, and cleaning kit ,and priming horn/auto measure primer, flints, lead shot, a lock box for transport in many states ....... not a hobby for the frugal you could go for a kit and make your own new gun and they start at about $225 for the pedersoli queen anne through dixie gun works or other shops other period replica firing kits and guns can go up from there .... i sell period replicas that start at $280 and up ...i do occasionally get a few used guns either in trade or through local auctions so it is your choice to keep the inexpensive prop gun for now or invest in a real gun that will be able to have the ability to actually fire either just blank loads or live rounds .....but they are still not toys and even blank loads are capable or injury or killing someone ...that's where the expression point blank range comes from!!! and the one thing most important is safety lessons it only takes one accident to ruin your life or that of someone around you!!!

the tentage i'm bringing will be 18'x34' under canvas with an 18x18 fly in the center with two storage/sleeping tents on each side with 3 rooms each ... all in canvas it is sutlery tentage so it might not be the most pyratical one there but it will be noticable ....i'll be posting some pics of it soon ....and i will have at least a dozen lantrns under it at night so i'm sure we can use it as a gathering spot if desired or required (weather) and i have offered space to more than a few additional pirates who have need of shelter

that's a bloody shame she 's a fine vessle i have been aboard many times hope they can save her !!!!

some good information there ... i checked out a few of the sites

i'd suggest you do as required to be able to see what you can ...i'm sure that the "offical authenticity police" will just have to deal with whatever you do any of ye have a problem with that!!!

i'll be bringing enough powder for your needs ...i'll just ask for a few $ dropped into the powder chest ....i'll have both pre-measured paper cartridges for pistols and also muskets/blunderbusses they will be clearly marked for safety sake .......so if you have a cartridge box please make sure you bring it along!!!

here's hope we can grow this at least ten fold this year see you there again patrick
