patterns

[mike blair]

does anyone happen to have a paper pattern for a British sea service pistol?or could you trace one that you own?

I built one from using an enlarged photo of a Sea service pistol. I had ordered a pre-carve for my project from a company that will remain un named and it was taking too long to get the pre-carve so I took my book to the print shop and told them I needed the pistol barrel to be 12" long and viola I had my pattern. When my pre-carved pistol stock showed up I was already done with my project and my pistol perfectly matched the pre-carve. I have my enlargements around here some where but this moving has caused the mislayiing of so many things.

thanx,that is an interesting idea.what book was that?

[Dave B]

I believe it was one of Blackmoore's books on british military firearms. I found my patterns. If you give me a fax number I can fax you copies of my pattern. The pistol I took the patern from is slightly shorter than the original barrel I have by about half and inch but it is still a great pattern.
