    Sausages

    Sausages, especially hard, dry cured, are like the perfect Living History food or Trekking Ration. Heck even the novel about Rogers' Rangers had them carrying bologna. From The Art of Cookery 1769 by E. Taylor SAUSAGES TAKE three pounds of pork free from fat and skin, cut it into small...

    PASS-TEE

    Yep the crust and the filling vary a lot. You get more of a Pizza/Calzone type crust in some areas... the calzone is probably the Italian variation on this themem too. . I think that crust is more durable in a pocket or haversack. In some places you get a much more flaky, pastry crust...

    Galef & Son pistol identification

    Englishman Henry Maudslay created a screw-cutting lathe to mass-produce accurately sized screws in 1800. Two years prior, in 1798, American machinist David Wilkinson invented machinery for the mass production of metal screws. IF your pistols have hand cut screws I suggest that they were...

    Kibler Brown Bess?

    Well a Long Land Pattern for North America. Which variation? I'd think prior to 1756, but use a metal rammer, and perhaps with the option to order a brass nose cape instead of the reinforcing brass band. LD

    Poor man’s guns

    Well according to the ledger for George Morgan's store in Kaskaskia in the 1760's, the inexpensive gun was the fusil, aka "fuzee", costing about half, if not less, than a rifle of the same era, and the rifles were ordered to be "Lancaster pattern". You might do what I did, and obtain a...

    Ammunition for a muzzleloader.

    Indeed, while the longrifle eventually became paramount in the United States, it appears the .58-.62 smoothbore trade gun was paramount in Canada at the same time. LD

    Pedersoli Brown Bess ?’s

    This is correct. Maryland had a great many King's Muskets, carbines, pistols, and swords on hand for use by the Maryland minute men, the militia and by Maryland Ranger Companies. They likely also had muskets using English (doglock) locks as well. Maryland issued these out to militia companies...

    Ammunition for a muzzleloader.

    Agreed, and this was true back in the hey day of black powder hunting..., So there is this guy, James Forsyth. He was a lieutenant in the Bengal Staff Corps in India. He's also the author of The Sporting Rifle and Its Projectiles (1867) He shot a LOT of game, large and also Dangerous in...

    Stock Finish Other Than "Brown"?

    I think you can find "paint pens" which make the vines a lot easier to do. I was told when they did them on stained stocks they used India ink and then several coats of boiled linseed oil. LD

    Stock Finish Other Than "Brown"?

    So there were some finishes that were meant to be durable and sometimes decorative. Sea Service muskets were painted black with oil based paint or were "Japanned" which is asphaltum dissolved into a solution Some trade guns were painted Carolina Blue Some trade guns were painted red. You can...

    Origins of chili con carne

    So by that "logic" before it was Chili con Carne, it was just chili peppers and water, or with pureed tomatoes and the water? IF it was first made with chili's and meat without beans, no need to tell everybody it had meat.... and no need to tell everybody about the beans, since it was...

    Looks like a Middle East wall hanger. They churn out these by the thousands each year for sale to the tourist trade. The Western tourists buy them and display them on the wall in the Den or The Study. LD
