    Just in case you've forgotten I asked about these guns when I first joined and that was the info I was given, if I remember correctly even by you. As for the Curry gun nom de guerre, it was someone on this board that pinned that on the Indian guns. I just thought it was funny so you can get off...

    Middlesex Village Trading Co

    If I remember correctly these are "curry" guns, made in India which is one of the reasons their prices are so "good". As to their quality, well the internet is full of both praise and condemnation, the metal appears to be highly polished and the wood used for stocks may be of questionable...

Had to put everything on hold due to work and other issues plus we moved again, up in Albuquerque now and finally starting, six months later to pull stuff out of storage and get back to work.

    conical tent?

    modern Modern products like Scotch Guard and Thompson's Water Seal are good but I think they're also flammable. Eons ago I "painted" my wall tent with very watered down white latex paint, there's a formula for how much water to paint ratio that unfortunately I do not remember (3:1/4:1). Too...

    conical tent?

    Bell tents have been around for quite a long time, no one really knows how long. The Byzantine army in the reign of Emperor Maurice, 582 ”“ 602 A.D., there are sketches of them in Henry the VIII's camp, the French infantry supposedly used them in 1753. The Sibley wasn't patented till 1856 and...

    Faux Baker?

    Overlapping, two rows of buttons besides, they're not very big, low to the ground with no ends, who cares if they leak, you'd be wet anyway. :haha: Also they were primarily used on campaign only.

    Canteen??

    I need to find it but I've read multiple accounts that almost all alcohol prior to 1900 (including wine) was so potent it had to be watered down just to be able to drink it.

    Run into a little snag, having problems trying to find out how to attach the collar. Nothing in the pattern or instructions covers it and everything I find online presupposes the person viewing the pictures/video already knows something about it......

    This one is my first, I'll probably do the one on the left next then my frock coat. After all that is done I should have at least enough knowledge to put together a passable 1750s outfit.

    The biggest problem is in searching Welt Pockets, up till 1950 there were definite distinctions between Welt, Jet and Piped pockets. Too many people these days don't make that differentiation, heck the first videos I watched were for Jet pockets labeled as how to sew Welt pockets.
