Mission Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Perhaps those small holes were for wire rings, attached to a fine chain? I could do that, although they had a photo of another one (this eBay seller sold a whole bunch of these at once) and it just had black knotted twine-like thread from what I could tell.

Mission Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Lookie, lookie what I found on eBay: They're stainless, which is not period correct, but the needle types would be the same in any period. What a splendid teaching tool I now have! Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

Animal Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 After going nonshooting at PIP (borrowed gun and no powder, I hate to beg and borrow ) I will soon aquire 2 flintlock pistols and a blunderbuss. A friend did some "horse trading" on an estate auction in Ohio. When I get them, I'll post some images. Gotta send some to Cascabel to get his professional opinon.

Mission Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Whoa! It's even better than I thought. I figured it was those two leaves of needles, but it arrived today and the needle display kit actually looks like this: It'll take up a 1/3 of my table space all by itself!

hurricane Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I wish you would have mentioned that sir. We had three pounds sitting there for the crewe's use and, as Master at Arms, you always have a share. When you get your new guns, I have 8 pounds at the house -- just get a can. I think they were $13 each if I recall. -- Hurricane After going nonshooting at PIP (borrowed gun and no powder, I hate to beg and borrow ) I will soon aquire 2 flintlock pistols and a blunderbuss.

michaelsbagley Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You could come to Michael's Columbus events. Which is still in doubt until funding for the Ship's budget for the 2009 year is firmed up... I'm hoping to hear some news in the not too distant future... So far the rumours surrounding the matter are alternatively hopefuly and pessimistic. But I am very much hoping it will go well. And we would love to have you Mary, and everyone else as well!

Ah, yes, and I should Love to Attend ~ There is, however, the small matter of Employment ~ which is from the month of April through September. I am limited in the number of events I can attend during the summer. Especially those which require airfare and extended days off. So I must pick and choose accordingly. Oooh, shiny!
