Well, you can't get away with just showing a "chorus line" like that without telling anything about them! Details, man, details! Who made 'em, dimensions, gauges, favorite loads...

I do. I have my own Trade Gun page on Facelessbook also.

And more photos!

I will be doing more pics in a bit. In the middle of buying a house, so life a bit hectic at the moment. Few pics to whet your appetite.

Thanks, I love the Trade Guns, especially the early ones. You’ve got some nice ones!

Thank You. I always wanted one as a kid, but grew up on a farm. No extra money. Nice to be able to realize my dreams, as an older man.

Gee, thanks. Now I’m going to be poorer!

I only have one smoothbore, a .62, but could do everything I need to do with that one flint gun. But fortunately I don't have to. You have an awesome collection.

You have 'em now, and you clearly appreciate them. It's never too late!

I was two months shy of my 60th birthday when I got my first Northwest gun. I now have two. I had wanted one since I first learned about them when I was probably around 12. First there were priorities, and I wanted to hold out until I could get a proper one. I don't have decent pictures of them, but will try to make some soon.

You have a terrific collection! Thanks for showing it!

SBJ, those are some very fine accouterments you have in that last photo of the Corey Stewart guns. Particularly taken with that knife.

Thank You. My Stewart guns are my favorites. Teresa Rawles did the wool weaving, I carved the horn. Rest are things I picked up in my travels or through trading. Being retired, I am able to pursue the hobby full time.

Well, your thread has me re-evaluating the pieces in the gun safe and wondering which ones to liquidate in order to fund a flint smoothie.
