I would take the suggestion that was offered about the rifle, although more correctly, a MUSKET would be appropriate, circa 1830's Springfield, which is available from Navy Arms, CVA or other reproduction companies, and the spinning wheel, I can probably provide you with an original, especially if you want a large southern wheel, since I provide weaving supplies and restorations of both arms and craft supplies (guns, looms, spinning wheels, cooking utensils, Native American craftwork and reproductions, antique tools, etc.) to motion pictures. I can get an incomplete Southern wheel locally for about 300 dollars, and send it to you, either restored or with a few parts missing for about $40 shipping (restored and usable would run about 500) I also have access to winders (250 each) nitty-noddy (40) and other originals which I do have on hand, and I can aquire a proper musket for you for around 750 new, or look for you a used one,...but that will take time, I'd estimate 350 I can find a suitable arm for you within 3 weeks. Contact me via e-mail or Authentic Reproductions at (512) 832-9726, in Austin, Texas. I also have some Cherokee items I made for a movie ("True Women") circa 1836 for sale,..if you can get me a list of needs and how they are to be used in display, I can give you a proper consult on what particular item is needed and approx. cost. ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
