It's our commemoration of our own Independence. Highly symbolic to us. Finally free in America. One for my son, one for me. Will shoot one load of BP (no ball) in the air.

Spax,
 .Is that a real one? Authentic? Because it does look so (so I take it that 1863 is the actual year). Gorgeous and in stupendous condition. Astonishing. Your friend, Phil (Fil) |

Your friend, Phil (Fil) Phil, I bought it from a friend who defarbed it with love and care. He matched it to his orginal nearly identical. He did leave part of the sieral number so it can't be passed as a authentic down the line. |

Brown Bess(es).
To someone like me, Brown Bess is THE musket all others are judged by. Three here, two Pedersoli (in my opinion, the two commercial best replicas available, not considering the far more expensive custom made ones) and an India Brown Bess Ship's Carbine. From top to bottom, 2nd model (short), Carbine (Cavalry) and the Ship's Carbine.  "Brown Bessing" by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

I strongly suggest to deal with Loyalist Arms (Canada) as they are very reliable. The pistol is well done. The other one is really hard to find. It was made in the 1970s and it was meant to be George Washington's own favorite flintlock (replica) ever. |

Rifle or musket? Caliber?Did you build it or buy it? Not like there are a lot of parts around for it. Looks like a light colored walnut. Is it finished or in the white still? Typically these were very expensive to maintain or buy for that matter and most examples were extravagantly engraved and detailed. Plan on doing engraving? Nice gun,I'm envious.i thought of building one some day. |

Yeah, I realized after I posted that I've changed it up. In that photo is a Krag, a No.1 Mk. III, then an 1873 in .44-40, a 1878 Trapdoor, a Sharps-Borchardt, and a Martini-Henry Mk. I/II. Also a 1849 Colt and an 1877 Lightning. I've since replaced the SMLE and Krag with a 1883 12a Coach Gun and a 1873 Remington Rolling Block in .44-77 Sharps. |
