The national park idea, the best idea we ever had, was inevitable as soon as Americans learned to confront the wild continent not with fear and cupidity but with delight, wonder, and awe.

Just got another flintlock of which I am pretty proud of.
One off, unique replica of an original 1742 Light Dragoon Pistol (circa) made by the great Leonard Day. It's the one on the top. The one on the bottom is a pretty awesome replica of George Washington's favorite pistol - a replica made in Italy in the 1970s Great flintlocks, firing, both of them Leonard Day Flintlock (top) by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

I have refinished three out of 4 pistols here (restained). The top three. Indian ones; you can work on them as much as you want, you're still going to tell right away the cheap ass stuff from the expensive goods.

Soon to be speaking to me, myself and I in this thread;
I just realized I do not like the finish (on the light side) on some of these. I really wanted to get a darker color. So I researched, tried and went for Minwax. I find their stains to be something absolutely spectacular - after having tried a few. So I went for dark walnut on this flintlock here. So much work can be done to these in order to make them look more authentic etc. - the hobby in itself is actually not in collecting these, but in finishing them - the ones that one can't consider to be a finished product (hence, most if not all the Indian flintlocks). I am now going to re-stain my ship's carbine as well (picture below in as is condition). Will make her way darker. Flintlock pistol with darker stain (still unfinished, I might either go for another coat or go BLO to finish here the way she sits now) Flintlock by SoloDallas, on Flickr Ship's carbine to be stripped and re-stained in dark walnut (I will make a custom stain with several Minwax stains I bought): Stuff by SoloDallas, on Flickr |
