Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

What's her bore, and do you ever fire it?
She's much fancier than the gun I used when I did Civil War Reenactments.
(Our gun 4 inch bore, cast iron with steel liner, we only fired blanks.)
I wish it was mine lol. I'm pretty sure I found that one at Jamestown. I took my daughter on a road trip during spring break and we spent a few days around Williamsburg.

Here's one of mine.

Here's an old deal. Bout as traditional as it gets. These are a set of Pommel Bags, think saddle bags but they go over the horn instead of behind the saddle. Very common in the Gold Rush days here in California and thereafter. Kinda died off once cartridges come around. The fur is customer supplied buffalo. First time I ever made these. I was kind of driving around at night with out headlights cause I was long on pattern and short on instructions.
