VermontPhisher Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I dunno, thought the lighter pewter weight might have a functional advantage for target shooting - longer range, flatter trajectory... Didn't know that they had value as replicas. I guess tourists will buy anything - here in HI you can buy plastic "shell" necklaces made in China. I never tried shooting one , the thought is a little scary. We make all kinds of colonial period toys ,games and gifts right here in tha good ol USA. We have done better recently because all the lead crap coming from china has been banned. We pour with lead-free pewter. It costs more but we don't get in trouble with osha or the govt.
