Yup, he sure is -- my twin shoots all those "old school" guns too. His oldest (replica) is a Chinese handgonne (a barrel mounted on a pole) and he has more BP rifles than I can count.

Those guns pictured ARE really nice, but "a little too much" for my taste.

Couple years back we slowly sold a collection of early early Japanese matchlocks none were anywhere close decorated as these are .

I've said all along that them new sparkers are just a passing fad. Now where did I put that pot of coals so I can light my matches ?
