    Period patch lube container?

    Okay, I've been fooling with blackpowder stuff long enough to know this, but...anybody know of any documented 1700-1800 containers used to carry patch lube (say, in a hunting pouch)? I know all sorts of containers can be used, (I use a small brass Ted Cash pill box), but I don't think I've seen...

    escopeta rear sight?

    Greetings: I'm building an escopeta from TRS parts. Brinkerhoff's book on Spanish colonial firearms includes a photo of a very similar escopeta, with a remark that it has both front and rear sights. But, sadly, the rear sight cannot be seen in the photo. Anyone out there have information...

    Spanish fire striker

    Greetings: I'm looking for a well-made fire steel (striker) made in a Spanish pattern. The one I previously puchased at Bent's Old Fort was a narrow "U" shape, with curls on the ends. Also seen these in a similar, but wider "U" shape. Apparently Bent's Fort no longer sells these (at least...
