You look mighty sharp sir, if I were to join you I'd have nothing to wear but my brain tanned leggings and breech cloth, while packing my squirrel rifle.   :toast  :*:

I wince at seeing my images, but 80 years changes everything of everyone and in my case not for the better ... but thanx!

Yes, that's my real hair that I let grow for a bit over a year.  Not that I saved on getting hair cuts as my was/is a hairdresser.  Last month I commissioned a Colonial Williamsburg wigmaker for a proper 18th century hairpiece with long trailing queue so that I can finally get a dang hair cut!

Thank ye, Rondo.  You'd be right at home wearing what ya got, totally 18th century and what was used by many a rebel militia for the duration of the war.

Rob, You post a mighty striking picture.  Well done.
Personally, Indians would not be much interested in my scalp, not a heck of a lot to get a hold of.  Even the fringe is getting kinda thin.  As I understand it, God only made a few perfect heads, the rest He covered with hair.  That's my story and I am sticking with it.
And I surely know what you mean about being an octogenarian.  And it ain't for sissies.

Well done.  You look like the real deal and very authentic.  I am jealous of the hair.   :yessir: :hairy :bigsmile:
