William Brand Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 Not to be confused with arse and all. Here are a few of my happy acquisitions. My bearded axe made by a man named Wolf. I carved the knotwork in a rough celtic style to give the axe an overall antiqued appearance. Here is a detail of the same piece. These are two of 8 knives that I have acquired from my friend Big Mike. The smaller "Trade Knife" is my most recent addition. Drat I spelled arsenal wrong.
Charity Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 That celtic carving is awesome! Stunning and very impressive :) I'm afraid I've only one blade and its not very impressive. I bought it at a Chinese store because of the horse decorations. I had to really choose between horse, tiger and wolf but this one was best, esp. as the front looks so much like a ship's figure head. The knife is a decent size though.
Capt. Morgan Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 I suck at posting pics, but here's what I've got... Pirate-y: -1660's doglock pistol -1750's British Sea Service flintlock pistol -standard Naval cutlass -Brown Bess musket (what the Continental Marines carried, for the most part) Modern: -Winchester Model 1866 Yellowboy (.45cal) -Colt Single Action Army (.45 cal) -M1903 Springfield, dated 1918 -M1911 (circa 1917) -M1 Garand (dated 1943) -M14 (late 60's) -M4A1 carbine -HK USP 9 The last two are my constant companions at the PD, now that we've done away with the shotguns...

callenish gunner Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 here is part of my arsenal ....more blades then firearms(period that is) the pic didn't load here so i added to the gallery(general)
callenish gunner Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 for some reason i can't figure out how to load pics in my messages here so i added a shot of a small part of my arsenal in the gallery as "arsenal part 1" i still have many more blades and a few more period guns but this is all i have shots of for now
Charity Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 WOW Impressive :) I love the second from the bottom cutlass, and the dagger below the lowest pistol! Great pistol too :)
callenish gunner Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 the top pistol is one i made myself :) i will try to photo some more of the armoury soon
Charity Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 the top pistol is one i made myself smile.gif WOW..that's great :) Well done!
callenish gunner Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 just posted another shot of just rapiers (arsenal part 2).....then it started to rain so i will post more as i can get them shot there were another 15 rapiers i had to leave out .....and some still in storage run out of room to hang them in the house
Charity Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 WOW..you really do have an arsenal Awsome though! I'd love to have an old flint lock pistol, but when i do see them here they're waayyyyy above my butget, then again most would be.. Problem is, you are not allowed to have them unless made unusable (something removed on the inside) and it's impossible to import one. I was told by re-enacters at the event i recently visited, and people selling weapons they tried to do so but it's just not possible to get them into the land from anywhere else. I agree on safity but stopping people from collecting classical weapons is highly irritating me!
