    Need to make Match

    Possible..... More so with La Salle I am sure as he was wealthy and could afford to out fit his men. All the records I have ever seen have showed that matchlock exsisted along side flintlocks in NF up to the 1690s-1700s, when flints overtook matches for good. 100% of the people armed in NF...

    Need to make Match

    ghost....... what makes you think they weren't? While the introduction of the flintlock to North America took place much sooner than on the Battlefields of Europe. The matchlock was in no way immediately or instantaneously disguarded as a weapon by the french. One of the major problems...

    Would Like to get a Smoke Pole Built

    Saw Pitchy's work and it looks wonderful!! I would definately be interested if he does build to sell. I am not looking for a rifle Shopee $1200 gun or anything. Just something simple to get me started in the matchlock world and allow me to use it for early french colonial interpertation at events.

    Would Like to get a Smoke Pole Built
