Hey guys, just bought a book that came out in 2007, "The Light Infantry Officer, the Further Adventures of an Officer of the Light Bobs", by John H. Cooke. Never saw it in bookstores, found it on e-bay. The author was a Peninsular War veteran, this is 1/3 of his memoirs and deals with the...

There's some great advice here, I'd say spend as much as you can afford, it's always best to buy high quality. IF you're looking to get going for under $600 and want a copy of a military gun, reconsider an Indian made gun, but go to Middlesex Village Trading Company. They have the best quality...

The wrist and trigger guard remind me of a pre 1850's British "volunteer" rifle, made for militia units under private contract, but the rest makes me wonder if it was a prize, trophy, or presentation gun. The Indian/trade possibility seems logical. Charles

In my 23 years of military map reading, I never thought of that. Makes too much sense, dang! :thumbsup: Charles

If you want to buy a reproduction, go straight to TRS. It will cost you, and you'll have to wait quite a while, but it will be worth it. I made the big mistake of buying an Indian made one from the place in Canada. A total piece of junk. Fortunately (or UN) it was poorly packed and the...
