OK! I put the first coat of linseed oil on tonight, used my special technique and it's superb. Just had to share.





This is the first coat of many. My technique is do a wet sand with water 2 times, then with BLO (boiled linseed oil) Then the airhose to remove all the dust and rub rub rub rub untill it's super hot and can barely touch it on that area.

This would be more 1710 than 1690. Also the english trade knives ive been looking at is more 1750+

That is a fine looking pistol!

I'll have a look through a couple of books here and see what I can find in the way of knives from the period.
