    Very nicely done. Did Lyman use different locks for their flinters over the years? Or is that a replacement lock?

    I am in Western NY and am involved in 4H Shooting Sports. I just ran an intro to muzzleloading class last week for the Erie/Niagara county 4H Rifle Club. I am also certified in archery and usually teach that for Niagara county. Welcome aboard.

    Period knives and Tomahawks

    Back to the question about brass pipe tomahawk heads. This one might be French, but just as likely English. It is the only one of this pattern I am aware of so it may be a “one off” made in the colonies. http://story.illinoisstatemuseum.org/content/brass-tomahawk-pipe

    Period knives and Tomahawks

    This is an example of an English brass head trade tomahawk. These have been found at late 18th c and early 19th c sites all around the Great Lakes

    Period knives and Tomahawks

    In the English trade context brass headed pipe tomahawks don’t really appear in large numbers until the around 1780. They are on Indian Department inventories at both Michilimackinac and Niagara at that point. There are a couple very rare examples before the 4th quarter of the 18th c.

    Brass tacks and other bling

    Well I like brass tacks. I originally built this CVA kit as a teen in the 1980s. I kept it all this time and a couple years ago freshened it up and added a bunch of tacks. Yesterday I used this gun to run a 4H Shooting Sports program on muzzleloaders. The kids each tried 3 shots with it.
