    CLOSED Brain Tan 'scrap' 3.5x12"

    Looking for a 'scrape' of Braun Tan Buckskin. Must be at least 3.5 by 12 inches (no smaller). Only genuine BRAIN TAN (brains, egg, etc), not commercial simulated - Smoked would be a plus! I don't need (nor can afford) a full, half, or quarter hide; only a scrap for bead work. It does need to...

    Taylor Sheffield knife?

    I just picked this knife up at a gun show. I looks like my vintage Green River butcher and Skinner knives but it's stamped "Taylor" and appears to have a worn away logo they used called "Eye Witness". The seller ($10) and I assume it is a Bonning knife with the tip worn off, I also note in the...

    My wife don't understand me

    My wife don't understand some of the things I do. She don't understand why I haul boiling buckets of water into the bathroom to mix up black walnut dye, she don't understand why I cut the wings off our turkey and boil out the wing bones, she don't understand why I melt bee's wax and brewer's...

    Help in Identifying a Percussion?

    This was brought into a local Antique Shop. No marks on the barrel, unless under it (have not attempted to remove). It is Very Heavy for a stout half stock rifle of small caliber (I am guessing maybe 36cal - 40cal?) Barrel appears rifled but I have no light with me. The markings on the Lock are...

    Percussion Derringer?

    I found this at an Antique Shop today. There appears to be no maker Mark's, only "Derringer Philadelphia" on the lock. No proofing Mark's so does not appear European replica. Its Smoothbore, best I can tell due to even coat of dark rust. I did not have a bore light and obviously not patch and...

    New to Nevada - anyone Home?

    (sorry, I posted earlier in the wrong forum) Just moved to the Carson City / Minden area and seeking resources for Firing Ranges, Clubs, etc. Oh, and anyone know of anywhere to purchase BP in the state (preferably Goex)? I find it hard to believe that I used to drive 10min for a pound in a...

    Howdy from San Fernando Valley

    Guess I should introduce myself rather then stalk in the shadows, eh? Got my start in black powder and re-enacting with the GAoP groups (late 1600s to early 1700s). Actually I was seeking some sword fighters for some 'therapy' after a serious injury that almost cost my my right hand...got into...

    Possibles Bag construction (strap attachment)

    OK, so its 1819, I took a little trip, along with Jim Bridger down the mighty Mississipp...(wait, no, bear with me for at my age the mind tends to wander at times). It is 1819 and I am in the wilderness; no hardware store to run to, nothing but a small housewife (needles, thread, sinew, awl...
