I can inquire about the possibility of CASH ON DELIVERY to USA with the french postal service if someone is interested. For example, if I would send to the USA the 30 flints I bought...

    Once More Powder Horn

    Happy new year everybody. When I was on duty in Africa ( as MP ) some months ago I picked up several cows horns on the piles of bones of the local slaughterhause. I tested flattening one horn after putting it in boiling water. Not really a success. Perhaps the walls too thick or not the good...

    Powder Measure

    the horn stooper was discussed in a previous post. It was my first powder horn and at this time it seemed to me that it was a good idea to make a stopper with the same stuff as the horn. Since, I have bought wooden stoppers from Track of The Wolf. About the powder measure, I drilled it first...

    Powder Measure

    The antler was polished with steel wool before the scrimshaw, then the scrimshaw was carved and inked with a iron feather, then the antler, especially the place of the carving, was polished once again with steel wool to eliminate blobs.

    Powder Measure

    Hello everybody, with my first powder horn I tried to make a powder measure with an antler deer and tried some scrimshaw. I drilled the antler with my dremel and finished it with a file. I sand the exterior part with sand paper and carved the draw with my dremel then I filled it with ink...

    Introduction / Horse Pistols

    Hello, this pistol looks like a french pistol 1816 or 1822 model but with a trigger guard ( in oil drop shape ) of a french pistol an13 model ( pistolet an XIII ). Almost all of those pistols were turned into percussion pistols. It's odd that no more markings are visible. Some links about...

    My african powder horn

    Good idea and perhaps with water and ashes from a wood fire to make a sort of ink, like ancient tattoo ? Now I have a wood burning furnace at home, I will try it for my next scrimshaw.
