Just noticed over on the Wes Studi board that someone posted a pic of the actual prop weapon used by Uncas in the movie. Just thought some might like to go over there and see it. Must be great to own something like that. It looks very real indeed.

Exactly where in the Studi board is it. That's a big place!

I tried the link and it does not work so just go over there and go to Wes's Message Board. Not hard to find on there.

OK, I found it. Looks pretty good for a fake. It would be hard to see the difference 10 feet away!

Reminds me of a poem the U.S. Army used to teach recruits the proper terminology for the weapons they carried.

"This is your rifle and this is your gun,
This is for fighting and this if for fun."

Those were the days!!!

The USMC used something very similar, FWIW.

How come Hawkeye's "weapon" had a name and Uncas's "weapon" did not? Not fair. Just because Hawkeye's "weapon" was bigger and longer. Don't they know it's not the size that counts but how you use it. Then again according to the song by Joe Nichols (think it's him) "size matters".
