: Kate,
: I doubt these were in the movie or even patterned after anything in the movie. They also have some "flintlock" non-firing "rifles" they tout "as seen in the movie Patriot". Nope, not even close. The rifles are crap. Not authentic at all.

: : At the moment, there are some movie props (or replica's perhaps) being auctioned on eBay. One of the things being auctioned is a Tomahawk pipe which apparently featured in Last of the Mohicans. I didn't recognised this particular article, from the picture (in fact, I thought it a strange shaped Tomahawk altogether!) and I wondered - is there, indeed, such an article in the film? If so, who was holding/smoking, it? I must have missed that...
: : (I'm extremely busy at the moment, otherwise I WOULD just go and watch the movie right now. But, I felt that this warranted leaving what I'm doing, to ask you guys.)
: : Anyone know?
: : Kate.

No, I was pretty sure they probably weren't worth the materials they are made with. (You get what you pay for, I know.) But I couldn't help wondering if I had 'missed' seeing this particular Tomahawk pipe in the movie... I could see me missing it once, maybe twice or even THREE times, but considering the amount of times I've seen the movie, I thought it strange not to remember seeing it eventually.
Now, granted, the weaponry is NOT the FIRST thing I look at! :o) But you know we Mohicanites tend to check out MOST things, eventually!!
Thanks, Bill.
Kate.
