    Trade Butcher Knife

    I recently acquired this butcher knife at a local antique/junk store. Got it for a good price I think. My research places it prior to 1890 and perhaps much earlier. The markings on the blade are "I. Wilson Shear Steel" There is no city or country of origin anywhere on it, as was required after...

    Northwest Passage

    I used to watch the Spencer Tracy movie, "Northwest Passage", all the time. For those who are not familiar with it, the story was taken from Kenneth Roberts' book by the same name. The movie only covers the Rogers' Rangers raid on St. Francis, which was part of a much larger story. It is a good...

    Jamestown Scottish Pistol

    In 2006 the folks at Jamestown, Virginia found a pistol at the bottom of an old well. The well still had water in it and the lack of oxygen in the water actually preserved the wood stock of the gun. Based on the ball trigger, brass barrel and style of snaphaunce lock, they decided that it was...

    Scottish Long Gun by Gulielmus Smith

    Here are some photos of one of my Scottish long guns made by my friend Gulielmus. This is the first one I acquired and is a gun which was made in Inverness around 1670 but brought to the New World by its owner. Some time around 1710 the stock was worn out and the ramrod thimbles lost or damaged...
