Capn' Mac Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Got a new replica flintlock and some cheapie blades and spiffied 'em up recently: My flintlock: My wife's new cutlass. Made the leather sheath m'self: My new cutlass: Nothing special or fancy but fun little modifications none the less. Edited April 8, 2010 by Capn' Mac Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.
captscurvy_nc Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Can you repost the pics? There not showing up
Capn' Mac Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 Should be fixed now... Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.
captscurvy_nc Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 I have the same black blade cutlass. What did you do to the guard?
Capn' Mac Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 I have the same black blade cutlass. What did you do to the guard? I simply oiled it and scrubbed off the black, buffed it a bit and blued up the outer edge to give it some age. Scrubbed the end of the scabbard a bit but left some black again, to age it. Threw some brass star fish on her, a strap for my baldric, added some latigo for a peace knot and some piratey beads...voila! Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.
Capn' Mac Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks much! It was fun to see what i could do with some cheapy stuff. Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

BeatrixKovacsRobertKovacs Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Here is what I've been up to fer quite some time now.To build a movie accurate and working Captain Barbossa flintlock pistol. I have the resin casting of the actual pistol and I've been slowly casting parts and pieces from it fer my real flintlock... I had a brass casting made of the sideplate fer my British dragoon. I'st piece o' many to be made fer this gun....
