Hello Jeff,
Very nice work! and interesting period. Naturally here we focus discussions on actual examples of historic weapons and try to assess the history that might pertain to the weapon. It is sort of historic arms and armour forensics.
Since we have not really encouraged discussions of reproduction weapons as it is of course outside our normal scope of study, as a matter of interest, what are your sources for the detail you clearly add to your work.

Do you collect actual examples or work with museums? It would be interesting to know more on your research as we always look forward to learning more on actual historic examples. From the more commercial standpoint, I think our swap forum is the best venue.

Thank you for your interesting entry, and extremely admirable work!

All best regards,
Jim
