    English Lock

    Thanks everyone. I did some more online searching after I posted my question. What has been contributed here basically agrees with what I've found elsewhere, sometime around the 1630s. Although I did find one site which claimed the lock pre-dated the 1630s.

    English Lock

    I'm considering buying the English Lock musket offered by Middlesex Village Trading Company. I know it was in use by the mid-17th century. But, what I'm trying to find out is, when was the English lock invented? Can anyone help?

    GET IT RIGHT!!

    Yep, Miles Standish carried a snaphaunce in 1620. And over in New Netherland, the Dutch were trading flintlocks to the Indians about the same time.

    The Crossing

    I would suggest reading the book "Washington's Crossing" by David H. Fischer to get a much better understanding of the Battles of Trenton and Princeton. You'll find that "The Crossing" which is based on the novel by Howard Fast, bears very little resemblance to the facts, and is more myth than...

    A Historic Brown Bess

    Yep, French amber flints were by far the most common type used in the 18th century by both British and French until the late 18th and early 19th century.

    Wow, Prices are something

    Have you considered Early Rustic Arms? A fowler from ERA wouldn't be a $2000 work of art, but it also wouldn't be a piece of junk. And ERA is pretty close to your price range.

    Flashguard on your musket?

    Once while at a stake shoot I made the mistake of standing to the right of a shooter without a flashguard on his rifle. I was about 5 ft. away and to the rear a little. Felt like getting hit in the face with a handful of sand.

    Great Lakes Fur Trade

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. :hatsoff: I ended up ordering two books for now, I'll get more in the future. The two I got were "The Canadian Frontier, 1534-1760" by Eccles and "Up Country: Voices from the Great Lakes Wilderness" by Seno. Just waiting for them to arrive now.

    Great Lakes Fur Trade

    Ok, after an extensive search on Amazon, here's what I've come up with so far. These are the few I found that looked like they might be at least some what related to my topic of interest. "The Canadian Frontier, 1534-1760" by W. J. Eccles. "The Voyageur" by Grace Lee Nute. "The Remarkable...

    Great Lakes Fur Trade

    I've been living in Michigan for about 5 years now, and although my main historical interest is 17th and 18th centuries New England, I've decided it's time for me to learn more about the 18th century Great Lakes Fur Trade, especially in Michigan. I've been to Fort Michilimackinac and read a bit...
