18th Century Artisans Show 2024

[XVIIc Wheelock]

Produced by Duelist1954. I found this video very interesting and sources of items I did not know.
Interesting pre-flintlock powder horns at 4:36
Wheelock at 7:18....also look up Clay Smith Guns, Inc. He shows another consignment wheelock.

Note: You may need to roll the video back to the beginning

That wheellock is a beauty. WOW !!! Lots of nice items at that show. Most of these shows always seem to be in the Northeast/New England area. Darn. On the other hand, now that I'm retired, that's probably good. Less temptation. LOL

Rick I'm retired as well.....but I am a sucker with little regard to common sense when seeing all this eye candy; however, my wife does her best to hold the control knob!
I think most of these great shows are in the east and northeast because that is where colonization of our country began and these are contemporary products of that history.

Those great shows are in the East and northeast because those people know what those guns are, mostly. Around my area, if it’s not a 10-22, an inline, or a SKS people aren’t interested…..

Same in central Texas......here it used to be if it doesn't have a bolt or mostly lever action hung in the back window of a pickup with two dead deer tied over the front fenders....it didn't count! Now...no more back window guns, but multiple stickers of AK's, AR's or other over the top innuendos. I wonder if hanging an old matchlock in the back window of my pickup will draw any attention.....may try it? Whoops, a matchlock would stick out both rear windows!!!

Ah yes, the “free gun inside!” stickers. Not the smartest idea to put on a car.

Get a doppelhaken so that your truck has sufficiently firepower to take on other trucks. It’s what Maurice of Orange would have wanted!

Wow. I'd have been divorced and bankrupt in the first 200 feet. Wait ...
