Does anyone know of any links where I can find pictures of tomahawks, scalping knives, a short barreled musket and a killdeer? LOL thanks....

I am doing a presentation and would love to use some visual aids for these weapons symbolized in Cooper's book...

Dan Winkler is one of the knifemakers whose creations were used in the movie (and he's also a resident of western NC).

C-C Girl,

I'm assuming you mean the fowl killdeer (forgive me, my cooper's a bit rusty)
http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/framlst/i2730id.html

A "short-barreled" musket or rifle could mean a:
smooth bore "canoe" gun or blunderbuss
http://www.caywoodguns.com/canoe_gun.htm ...or...
http://www.militaryheritage.com/musket9.htm

smooth bore Brown Bess style carbine or trade musket
http://www.militaryheritage.com/images/carbine1.jpg

rifled barrel weapon (like Hawkeye would've employed)
http://www.possibleshop.com/muzzleloadingrifles1.htm

May not be the best examples, but can get you going in the right direction.

Good Luck!


Humbly &c.,

Here's a pic from our site [not the original, but made by the same gunsmith, Wayne Watson ...]:

I emailed Mr. Winkler and he promptly emailed me back. Very nice man! He gave me permission to use any pictures I wanted.. He even offered to email me some, or mail me a disc of pictures. Not very often you find somebody that nice and helpful online.. Well, except in this forum lol.. Thankyou everyone!!
