Captain Edward Teague

I am soon to be involved with some mock combat and playacting involving assorted types of weaponry. Fortunately we have a cannon expert that takes care of all that sort, although that looks enjoyable as well, perhaps someday I will venture there as well. I have already ordered a combat ready replica sword from the well known Baltimore Knife Masters, plus arranged instruction from a Swordmaster to address that part and now am looking into a functional pistol with which the majority of the time will only be used for shooting "blanks." At least until some possible time in the future when I attend a real re-enactment gathering, then maybe more. (Do forgive, as I am obviously still far from wet behind the ears around here as to all things ) I have not seen or have overlooked any sort of resource list of weaponry for sale by vendors or otherwise most here manufacture their own. Or of course possibly that is not a legally allowable thing to which I apologize and should this thread be removed from such, I understand. But I digress. I am seeking a functional pistol which will both NOT break the bank due to its limited usage, but NOR do I wish something that blows up in my face. Makes it hard to drink rum when ones cheeks are as swiss cheese as it were. My only experience with period weaponry is assembling a .69 caliber flintlock as a young lad and I had quite some teaching by the shop owner and had quite a bit of fun with that. But that was eons ago. However in my defense I state that I am a former Marine M.P (The MP is former, the Marine is for life ) with some detailed experience in modern arms and their safety and also have had experience in staged combat with such in blanks form and do know the wadding ( and sparks ) can be just as dangerous as the real thing for one. I also possess a CCW permit and have for many years. So, I was thinking for a little more reliability for staged events, perhaps a percussion cap would serve better than a flintlock. Perhaps not as period, but still... But pretty much the only item I have come up with, other than overseas selections at triple the price is this: http://www.cabelas.c...%3Bcat104503680 Nor do I know the shipping regulations on ordering from overseas either. So I place myself in your capable hands, gentlemen ( of course I use that term loosely. ) School thah new swab with some tips, suggestions or if any one is willing to construct such a beast.

Well even though I work in a theater I have no secret insight. But my personal view is that they won't bring Blackbeard back because it was speculated they wrote out Will and Elizabeth for one reason to focus more on Jack and his particular adventures. Barbossa hung in there due to his own particular popularity in the series. There are some children's books written about Jack's life and adventures, perhaps they can draw from those, although I have not read them. Other ideas could include a faceoff with the Jolly Roger, who is featured in Disneys Online game. Which I will volunteer for a screen test.....*Wicked Smile*

Oops, forgot the lights:

No two wheeled ship as of yet, but yes, I have two ideas in the works for a modern version of a knights steed and most definitely a land ship worthy of a pirate, including a swivel cannon. Won't the local PD be thrilled. This is my current one, which I would have to sell first and in this economy that has not been much luck so far. Kind of old school, I bought it stock except for the limited edition paint form Harley themselves. All the rest is mine including over 125 skulls, 96 LED blacklights and a 96 Cu. In. motor pushed out to 103 built by a Pro Nitro Harley class drag racer. Won a couple shows with it and it is now currently in the theater lobby in a display for Ghost Rider two which comes out in February. One customer even thought it WAS the bike from the second movie, lol. Her name is Bella. Bella Morte. Italian for Beautiful Death. Day she came home: Now:

What with slippin me ship about and twixt alla thah borned dayz and holiday celebrations, arrrgh, rough indeed... Waitaminnit...thar usually be RUM at those, ar har.....FULL STOP, TURN ABOUT YE SWABS AND MAKE IT QUICK LIKE, MAKE FOR THAH NEAREST RUM, ERRR...PORT!!!! Annnnyway....a New Years greetings to all. I came across this site a little while back while in search of accessories for new garb, namely having been recruited to impersonate Captain Teague with a small local Pyrate crew that already boasts Jack Sparrow ( of course ) Blackbeard and Barbossa plus a few others. So I have some rather large gunboats to fill indeed... A little about me.... I currently work as an assistant Manager for the local movie theater chain and am Director of Marketing over here in Mobile, AL ( makes for fun extra dressup times, especially since the new Pirates, Band of Misfits is released soon, I plan to fill the lobby with some crews.... ) But if the stars shine right, hopefully soon me and the wench will be buying our own business and not be dancin thah gallows jig for another mans music. Been attending Ren Faires around the country for oh, around 25 yrs in garb. Started a Pyrate personae about a year ago known as Tradewinds Trent which has been well received and the main reason I was recruited to become teague...when I met "Jack" and went into a perfect rendition of Teague, well, he was hooked. As for other hobbies, I ride and build custom motorcycles (NOT trailer queens either, these babies are show and GO ) and we also love to travel, take cruises and see new things and meet new folks, particularly at Faires and ( nowadays ) Pirate events. So...here I be....a lookin to learn some, maybe help out some and very hopefully to find somma thah accouterments I be a needin to complete me look fer shurrrr.... Fair winds and gentle waves to Ye. *Sweeping Bow*
