Do any of you know what kinds of adornments, embellishments, attachments, inlays etc that Cherokee natives may have used on their rifles/smoothbores? Particularly during the 1760-1830 period? You can post or email to me any suggestions as to how they may have individualized their weapons with adornments etc. Thanks much. DDL's rifle had seed bead inlays around all the pins, for example. I am told that was done by natives. On Wes's rifle I inlayed a silver otter trade piece on the patchbox (his nickname is Otter). That's the sort of insights I am looking for. Anybody got info on that - documented or otherwise?
