The captian and mates lived here, as well as cabins for a few passengers On the model there was a plastic box with a benches and table. You could...

    Hawkens East?

    One did turn up hanging over a honktonk bar in Arkansas back in the 1970s. I would bet some one bought it and used it in the west returning to homestead in Arkansas then in later years it just became an old gun that went to a junk store and bought for a decoration

Wads , tools on one side ball loose on the other or bag of shot Bags could have some decoration, most seem to have been plain. Flat sewn was common without turning the body. I like to line my bags...

    How many shots in a row without picking or wiping pan ?

    I’m one of those guys who blow down the barrel after the shot. I thumb the pan and frizzen face too I have a prick but never need it. I like to swab between shots too with a damp patch. Now folks are all bothered by blowing down the barrel, but if you run a patch down you get to hear a whoosh...

    Indian Charleville M1777 AN IX

    Sitting Fox had a five grand jaegar that in photos looks real good. I’m sure it’s worth every penny. Howsomever I could not afford that, or even one at half the price. So I build, but I’m not a gun maker, my work at best is third rate. The Indian guns shoot, and shoot as well as more expensive...
