Hi Nick
I just discovered your new spanish colonial range. The cuera dragoons I was longing for, at last! And who could do them if not you?
I just sent my order. But why is the officer pictured above not available to order?
Great work, as usual.
Philippe

some Escopeta information :) :D :) :D
a note to say The escopeta was a light, inexpensive musket or shotgun popularized in the mid-seventeenth century by Spanish cavalry on the colonial frontier. It had a .69 caliber and a 38½" barrel. Although it lacked accuracy, it was still considered acceptable for use against Indigenous peoples in Mexico, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas. Mounted troops often carried it across the saddle bow in a soft leather sheath called a funda or ord. The escopeta's recoil made it challenging to aim, contributing to its reputation as a noisy but imprecise weapon. Despite being replaced by other arms, it remained popular with mounted troops on the northern frontier1. Francisco Targarona, a royal gun maker in Madrid, produced escopetas that served as models for other Spanish gunsmiths. These weapons played a role in settling Alta California beginning in 17692. Overall, the escopeta was a sturdy and dependable firearm used for nearly 200 years on the northern frontier

Hmm, really like that last chap. Might have a use for him, albeit in a completely different setting.

Lovely though the Texas Rangers are, & I will be getting some,
the range was started as...' 'Apache Comanche' COMANCHE !!!!!! :( :( :(

When do we get the FULL allocation of Comanche?   Pretty please. ;)
