LadyBarbossa Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 I agree with ya, Zorg. I've seen some authentic pistols on display that were excavated from Camden & Cowpens as well as Guilford Courthouse & Yorktown. Some are that size. Another part that leads me to believe Barbossa was familiar with cavalry life. The pistol is rather unique, for sure. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Deacon Frye Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 No, I mean it looks huge compared to other shots of his pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 You're right, it does look quite huge in that pic. Anyone remember the Batman movie with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson? Kind of puts ya in mind of the pistol the Joker used towards the end, that long damn thing he pulls out from his pants! lol! But anyway, Barbossa's gun was longer than Jack's. That pic seems a bit exaggerated, but he still had the bigger gun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBarbossa Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 Even in this weaken condition I am in at current.... I say we raid his private stockpile of rum & wine again! We always fill it back up ... Robert... I agree with ya there, mate. Again, I like Jack.. interesting character. But ... ::Shrugs painfully:: Yeah.... good point. There were a few pirates who advanced due to voting off & mutiny. Rackham for one. Plus.... as someone mentioned on a email chat list months ago.... Barbossa is the best villian since Darth Vader!

Barbossa II Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 WEll this Barbossa says ye can look wherever you like and ye'll see Jack is always smaller! I use an English Dragoon pistol .62 calibre. Its about 22 inches from tip to butt. Makes a BIG BOOM Haven't put all the frou frou on it, but if I did it would be a dead ringer for barbossa's movie pistol. Jack... ye saw it last week... good ehh... We painted the Ga Festival red ehh... Savvey? Barbossa II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbossa II Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I got it from this place: Discriminating General And yes it functions GREAT. I had to get my gunsmith to drill the venthole (that's touchhole to you scalawags). Barbossa II Good to see you here lass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBarbossa Posted June 5, 2004 Author Share Posted June 5, 2004 ::SERIOUS DROOLAGE!::: Super fantastic, luv. Thank ye kindly! Love it! Looks like a fantastic pistol. Big boom, huh? hehehehe... fantastic! I like to make quite a bit of noise there on the battlefield... whether I am with Lee's or Tarleton's Legion. ::: evil grinz::: I can see how adding some silver finery will make it appear like the pistol. You having someone do that for ya? Think they would be willing to "make" more? ::looking as innocent & sweet as possible::: Right nice. I'm impressed.... :) Again, thank ye kindly. A far better piece than what I saw from Dixie Gunworks or Track of the Wolf, Inc.... etc. PS - :: elegantly bows deeply:: again, likewise. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

LadyBarbossa Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 Thank ye for the info & recommendation. Much appreciated. Also, went to a gun show today in hopes to find a cheap replica pistol - with no luck - but found an antique pistol. The dealer thought it was a 1700's flintlock Turkish pistol. A lovely piece. Obviously old looking. $575 for it. Needs frizzen spring replaced. Not sure whatelse needs to be replaced. He says that with the replaced frizzen spring would make it a working pistol. I've no picture of it. It's a rather large pistol. & I can see now how some of you gents were talking earlier that Barbossa's pistol could have been Turkish. If anyone may be interested in the pistol or want to inquire about it... contact Robert Harris @ 1(563)873-3067 or email at highcountry99@mchsi.com Good luck. & to whoever buys it... it makes for one nice piece if you want to use it only for a non-firing prop weapon.
