This is great stuff!!! But pic #3... is it reversed, or is that a rifle for a lefty? The bolt handle is on the wrong side.

There's a gentleman who lives north of Mineola, TX who will make your very own wet plate camera.

HOLY COW! Did you catch some of the prices on that stuff? I used to make some of my own uniform pieces when I was a re-enactor so I know some of the material can be pricey, but a $6000 overcoat is ridiculous. Even all hand stitched that's way overpriced.
