Ya know.....with just a wee bit of a change, this could be yet another

fellow's neck.  He then
begins to be shot at by Royal Marines (who think he's French). He manages to

However, Hardy mentions it to the Prince Regent who presents Harry Flashman

All is not lost.  Brother Carnahan (sp?) does spit bullets into the fire in THE
MAN WHO WOULD BE KING.

(Just another attempt to take this topic even farther afield.)

Dave

Is there anything he can't do?  Whats next, Sharpe is found out to be in
line for the crown?  Yeesh

Dave Bosse

Yes he is!  It turns out that his father is really George III and his
mother the prostitue was a princess in the French court.  After the
overthrow of the French monarchy she is forced to sell her body to pay for
food.  Sharpe discovers this while sleeping with a prostitue who knew his
mother and takes over the throne of Great Britain AND France after
single-handedly restoring the French monarhcy!!!

Sharpe for world dictator!!

Truer words were never spoken.

A propos the NatLamp parody, it was called "Bored Of The Rings" and the main
character was "Frito".....and Bilbo Baggins was called...oh, never mind
:^P...

Sean Bean as Frito- what a concept!

How soon will "Sharpe's New Orleans" be coming out (cough, cough)? Heaven

What else will be left for him to do in this time period that hasn't
stretched the truth beyond Clintonesque proportions?

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO
ALL FIREARM OWNERS!

Bt the end of this year
you must have a firearms licence
to possess firearms and to buy
ammunition.

- A valid FAC will do.
- A hunting or driver's licence won't.
- A licence is not the same as a Registration Certificate.

Welcome to the 1812 hobby and this List, Pvt. Nichols!  I'm still learning
myself.  I'm approaching the 1812 period from the other direction - I
started in American Civil War.

BTW, I liked "Black Robe" despite its PC elements and have fancied owning a
matchlock for some time - who made yours?  Are you one of Cadillac's
fellows?

The matchlock was made by Jurgen Kreckel , in Pennsylvania. It is an
excellent piece of work.  As a matter of fact, it is amazingly accurate.
In fact, this matchlock smoothbore has consistently triumphed over
flintlock RIFLES in competition shoots. Some say it's due to the peep
rear sight, but I'm impressed nonetheless.
     The historical period I portray when carrying it would be the first
quarter of the 17th cent. ...roughly 100 years before Cadillac. I'm

Dear Lee,

Thanks for the info.  French exploration is an underappreciated part of the
history of this area.  Most of us learn in grade school about the various
explorers but never learn what they looked like or how they lived.  Could
you give me some contact info off-list for Jurgen Kreckel?

Meanwhile, what you do to snip your messages is to "highlight" the part you
don't want to send and hit the "delete" key.  There are two ways to
"highlight" text:

1) Move the mouse to the start of the part you want to get rid of, press and
hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to the end of the part
you want to get rid of, then release the button.  The text will turn blue as
you move the mouse across it, and when you hit "delete" all the blue part
will be erased.

2) Using the cursor keys while holding down the shift key will do the same
thing.

If you want to get rid of the highlighting and try again, just click the
left mouse button anywhere on the screen - the cursor will jump to that
point and the highlighting will disappear.  Play around with it a bit -
you'll get it.

It is a little known but common fact that laws of the interior are to be
matched with laws at our borders...
therefore, since you must first look at the definition (federal) of
"ammunition" and then realize that "black poeder" by itself DOES NOT fit the
definition, you will raelize that you do not need a valid FAC or Valid
Possession certificate or valid anyother type of FIREARMS cetificate to
purchase something which is not (currently) considered
ammunition.......however, as we are all quite aware, our Federal Government
can impose the darndest things (laws) at the most inconvenient times for the
most ridiculous reasons!! thus, this is why, that for the importation of
BLACK POWDER at our borders, you STILL and will STILL only need to have the
appropriate IMPORT PERMIT and Valid I.D. as proof or Residency in Canada if
you are importing more than the limit (without permit)which is 8 kgs.

However, all laws are subject to change at anytime with the stroke of the
correct person's(s) pen. So, if they decide to be the ultimate legislative
pricks, then I'm sure they'll realize their folly and change the legislation
to read that we MUST have Valid Firearms certificates (whatever or whichever
one they decide you must possess) in order to purchase raw black
powder....and thereby piss us all off again and we'll just have to fire-up
Mr. Feltoe again and get him to work his wonderful magic on the beasts in
our legislature!!!!!! hahahaha.....ahhhhhhh, a re-enactor's life is
hell....but that's what makes it so damned great to be a military
re-enactor......
......geez, I really must get my trigger finger looked at....it's twitching
very badly.......that's ok....the Doctor's waiting for me to
arrive......Doctor Longwoods is his name.......

you know,
one last thought........
we are and technically will not need to show proof of valid FAC/PtC/PC,
etc....unless....the owner of the shoppe you purchase your powder from
insists!!!!! That's his/her perogative!!!and you, as the purchaser, can't
change that!!!! Ahhhhh, life's a bitch, and then you m..... ... and then you
...
Kevin, you just reminded me of "Gun Shoppe-Ammunition Shoppe policy". I mean
come on....what are you going to do if the owner of the shoppe says he wants
to see a valid FAC (etc...) and you don't have one for the purchase of black
powder, or anything else you're trying to buy form him.....tell him off and
quote the 1998, Dec. 1 Firearms Act legislative references to him?!!
HAH!!!!!! He, the shoppe owner has the upper hand!! Because he's got the
goods YOU want!!!!

I have two powder sources here in the peninsula. One has asked for FAC proof
since 1989 when I've wanted to purchase powder from him. the other has
never, but warned me when I last saw him in 1999, that he was going to start
asking his clients as of April 2000!!! So, what can you do , eh??!!

Cheers,
miss all of you,
hope to see the majority of you at Longwoods...it's been a long Winter.

Hello

My name is Carl and I am new to the list. I hope that I can get some help.
I have been a re-enactor for about 12 yrs. The 18th century is my favorite but I
have always been interested in the war of 1812.  I have put together a few
things like my 1808 cartridge and my cross belts. I have my Bess and
Charlieville from my Rev impression and a few other things. I'm hoping some one
can tell me where I can get a pattern for a coatee. I looking to do a late war
impression , 1814, so I looking for a pattern of the plain dark blue coatee.  If
anyone knows where I can buy a pattern please let me know.  I have a few other
members of our organization  who are also interested in starting a unit here on
the east coast. I guess I forgot to say I am from New Jersey.  Thank you

Welcome to the list Carl.  I can't help with American kit but there are
several 1812 events happening in Maryland if you're interested.

Ed Seufert
Royal Marines

For a late war US kit Jarnigins makes a early and a late war coat along with a
roundabout. Your Rev war pants should work for your pants (drop front). Late war
you could use knee or short gaiters (again Jarningin). John Fenner in WI makes
custom roundabouts and late war to fit (very important to a
powerlifter/reenactor).  His roundabout plus matching forage cap  belive is
$150.00. $200.00 for late war blue. For your Shako you have once again
Jarningain and a nice guy in ONT.  His company is Historic Impressions in Stony
Creek ONT. Gun Leather is carried by a few but your friend and mind (Jarningan)
is the only one I can think of. As much as I like it white, your cross belts
should be black. e-mail me and I will get you the phone numbers from these guys
from our unit Co.

Hope to be of help.

     Hello

     My name is Carl and I am new to the list. I hope that I can get some help.
     I have been a re-enactor for about 12 yrs. The 18th century is my favorite
but I have always been interested in the war of 1812.  I have put together a few
things like my 1808 cartridge and my cross belts. I have my Bess and
Charlieville from my Rev impression and a few other things. I'm hoping some one
can tell me where I can get a pattern for a coatee. I looking to do a late war
impression , 1814, so I looking for a pattern of the plain dark blue coatee.  If
anyone knows where I can buy a pattern please let me know.  I have a few other
members of our organization  who are also interested in starting a unit here on
the east coast. I guess I forgot to say I am from New Jersey.  Thank you

     This is to introduce myself to the group.
     My 'name' is Pvt. Elias Nichols, of the 4th Reg't US Army, which is headed
by Lt. Paul Schulz. We are quartered in Macomb County ,MI, just NE of Detroit.
     I do more re-enacting in the 17th and 18th century French colonial area and
am relatively new to this period and to computers so I'll prob.  be asking some
Q's which might sound obvious to most of you. Bear with me. I'll get it.
     My background is strong in ML firearms and material culture of the 17th &
18th cent.s I own and hunt with a matchlock smoothbore identical to the one
featured in "Black Robe". Actually, it's made by the same gunmaker. I also hunt
with flintlock rifles and muskets. I use MLs exclusively. I did use a caplock on
a deer once but we all know where nipples were meant to be.

Well, there you have it....
all you guys had to do was ask me.....hahaha, but I'm not a federal officer
in the eyes of my fellow re-enactors,...and that's just fine with me,
truely....low profile is a good thing in my business, hell, that's one of
the reasons I re-enact...it helps blow off the steam of my regular,
everyday, ho-hum job....among other things.

cheers all,

Ah- but what does one need in Canada to keep, store and USE the black
powder? Are there any restrictions on the provincial and city/town level as
well? And what rules apply to USAmericans and other foreigners if they want
to come into Canada with BP? And what about when we don't have any when we
come over the border? Can we legally just go to a gun shop and buy some
there as Canadians can?
