Jacob Dickert Rifle

In the tradition of a early Lancaster. .50 caliber. Makes you ponder the battle of Kings Mountain or the Cowpens, just holding her....

Let us know when your museum opens. My family and I would surely make the pilgrimage up there to see it. I always enjoy your posts.

That is a beautiful rifle. What did you use for the lock and the barrel?

You wield a cell phone better than I do a real camera. Those pictures are just fine by me.

That isn't just a rifle. That's art.

Fixed the picture for you. Everything was black and white back then. Color didn't enter the world until about the 1960's; although a bit grainy.

A little earlier than that; I have some 16mm movies, shot on Kodachrome (I think it was ASA 2 then), from 1938, and I've seen color pix of French soldiers in 'bleu d'horizon' from early WW I.
