:rotf: Well, I collect knives and have lost count, but it is in the hundreds (300?). Only a few dozen are period 18th cent styles, though. I have two 20 gauge smoothbores [a Tulle fusil and a Germanic fowler], a .32 Tenn rifle, a .40 Western PA longrifle, a .45 Eastern PA longrifle, a .50 SE PA longrifle, a .50 Carolina longrifle, a .54 Dickert style longrifle and a .50 1770s English dueling pistol (I traded off two other rifles).I have three shoulder pouches and three belt pouches. Six 'hawks. I could go on. Some items are singles or doubles--I have two fire steels and two turnscrews, for example. I have sets of tools for each gun (worms, jags, etc). I have several different outfits of clothes to fit a range of time frames within the 18th century or very early 19th. [this does not include my Civil War stuff] It gets a little crazy, doesn't it?
P.S. Yeah, Mark, I'd keep that Gillispie!
