very interesting southern rifle

[cshirsch]

Is your Elbert Bible gun marked on the barrel?  I just picked up a southern pistol that is stamped E * B on the barrel.

Chris,
Did you ever finish the restoration on your rifle? I would love to see more photos.

Chris,

I did not completely finish yet but I did get the lock area pretty much restored.  I have some other more minor fixes to do but have not had time to get to them.   So sorry that I can't post a photo of the restoration.  I can't understand why this site will not allow a JPEG photo to post.  Either I am doing something wrong or

I have done all of that numerous times and it will not accept my photos.  Something is very wrong here.  I have a lot to share and it's a shame that it won't accept my JPEGs.  It states 'Invalid or unsupported file format'.  I am a photographer also and have posted many photos elsewhere and even on this forum.  Very strange that it will not let me do it now.

Are you sure they're JPEGs and not RAW or FITS, etc?

If you can't get it to work, just ask Dennis.

Dennis doesn't know why he can't post. He sent me some photos awhile back that he could not post and I posted them with no problem. This makes me think the problem is with his set-up but I can not think of anything that should cause it.

Chris, one thing you might try is renaming the .JEPG to .jpg should not create any problems, I have renamed lots of mine just to keep them consistent and have not seen it make any difference with any of my software.

Send me some others that you can't get to load and I will try them as well. Would be interesting to see what happens on my end. ( tdg23113 at verizon dot net )

Wish I could help,

That is a great looking original.  Wood is wonderful.
It has inspired me to post some photos of an old French Rev War musket I have that us surcharged US.
But the talk of Bluegrass players on this sight is very interesting.
And the mention of my favorite band, the Country Gentlemen, and the greatest singer Charlie Walker really has me excited.
And Whiskey Before Breakfast!!  One of my favorite!!
I am struggling with Southern Flavor myself as I write this.
Black Powder and Bluegrass, better than red hair and black leather!!

Southern Flavor is a cool Em song.  I never learned a break for it but play it often in jams.  The song 'Texas Lonestar' on that album was actually named after my band.  Bill turned to me and my base player and asked us the name after he was working on it backstage.  My base player thought he was asking the name of our band and he told him, Lonestar.  Bill said, "Texas Lonestar, I like it".   We just smiled.  :-)

Dennis, they are .jpg .   This is crazy!  I don't want to have to keep sending you my photos to post for me.  I don't have this problem anywhere else I post photos.  CH

Chris,
I agree but I just don't have a clue as to what could be causing the problem. As of now, I don't have any pending problems with others posting photo's (other than not knowing how to load from their PC). We had some past problems with some users having conflicts with their virus protection etc but that was not being able to view photos that had been uploaded.

Our site still accepts photos that are posted on other photo sites or private websites all that is needed is to preface the URL with the proper image BBC code (use the icon under the "B" (for bold type).

If you don't have access to another photos site, you might try setting up an account at http://imgbb.com/ then upload your photos there then copy the "BBCode" that gives you the proper BBCode and URL to display that photo on most all forum sites.

Thanks Dennis

Pictures?

[WElliott]

Interesting rifle, Chris.  Congratulations.  It would be helpful to see pictures of the guard, both side view and extensions, the side plate, toe plate and the tang.  I am trying to recall where I have seen that cheek shape. 

[cshirsch]

I would love to post more photos but something is wrong somewhere and my photos are rejected here.  Sorry

[JTR]

How about you send me a picture, and I'll try loading it on here?

If I can load it from here, I'd guess there's something with your computer.

If I can't load it from here, there's something with your picture/file name.

Either way, its certainly fixable! ,,,, or should be!
