Michael,
Thank you so very much for the great information and the links to the other posts. The pictures of the items in your collection are simply amazing. I have learned so much in the short time that I have been reading and researching.
I am a black powder shooter and am building a flask to go with my matchlock musket. I have always wanted one and have never seen anything near a correct original for sale. I do know that this forum is not for reproductions, but it helps greatly in reproducing early arms and accountrements.
I love that you shoot your original muskets. I too shoot originals, but don't have any original matchlocks. New muskets simply have no soul!
Most Sincerely,
Yancey
