This is my personal everyday hat here in Va. (I need to pick the burrs off) The hats are comfortable and warm, and a unique alternative to the ubiquitous ball cap. Plus it is a perfect style for my “real life” poor farmer persona. 😆

Thank you John. PM me your info just to be sure and I will ship it tomorrow.

Brownish Grey, with brown cotton lining and back. Size is XL Completely handmade but not hand sewn. Machine sewn was common by the time of the American CW, but finishing such as buttonholes would have still been hand sewn. Three exterior pockets, one interior pocket. By the late 1850s the...

Hawkeye, Thank you for your very informative post.

I am looking to get into skirmishing and would like advice on a carbine. Have narrowed my choices to the Smith, Maynard or Gallager as I like the breechloading style. For those with experience with these, which is recommended for accuracy, dependability and ammo/parts availability? For...

I will show my ignorance, did Colt actually offer this configuration in the original production guns, or is this a fantasy piece?

I have a pair of their “tuned” SAA’s. They are very nice. If you are looking for a standard Pietta 1860 army, you can get the same pistol from EMF for less.

The only thing to make of it is these employees do not understand the very regulations they are suppose to enforce. I had the same issue with my Local post office. I politely asked for the name and number of their superior at each level of management who told me I couldn’t do what I knew was...

I mailed a letter to Ca. From Va. nearly two weeks ago. Has not shown up yet. I talked to my local guy at the post office. He said the Richmond office was three weeks behind on sorting packages. I haven’t given up hope yet😀

I appreciate everyone who took the time to reply, and really appreciate the links.

Cabelas was running a 10% off sale, and using my points, it was a $200 gun. I don’t normally like gaudy, and will probably let it age to grey. But right now I need a set of faux ivory grips. Anyone know of a source for decent grips?

If this book is still available, I will take it. Thanks
