Modern Gunbelt; Living breathing ethnographics !

THANK YOU FOR THE LINK TO THE POST ON CUTTLEBONE CASTING. I HAD SEEN SOME SORTS OF FINE SOFT NATURAL TALC STONE AND SANDSTONE USED IN THIS WAY BUT HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF USING CUTTLEBONE.
YET ANOTHER GIFT FROM THE SEA YOU CAN EAT THE CUTTLEFISH AND USE HIS BONE FOR SEVERAL PURPOSES. BEING A DIVER AND MARINE ZOOLOGIST I HAVE ENJOYED MANY HOURS WATCHING CUTTLEFISH.

Salaams Vandoo ~ Thanks for the response... I was down the souk today and looking at Martini Henry Rifles and thought to shoot some pictures and feed them in here. Either that or I may start a new thread.
