Thanks very much Michael, great illustrations as always!!! This is like having access to the most fantastic books and art showing all of these.
I have just noticed, on the 'caliver man', that curious shape in the powder 'horn'. It seems this is very much the shape I have seen on Moroccan powder flasks, and perhaps the strong trade influences between England and Europe along that Meditteranean littoral brought this in as well as the gun types?
I need to find a photo of one of these Moroccan powder flasks (if I am using the correct term).
All the best,
Jim
