Colin Chapman Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Probably useful and of interest to a number of folks hereabouts... As a research monkey, I put together a selection of historically accurate, extensive download pdfs, completely systemless, for both the "Pulp" era (20s and 30s) and the Wild West. All are free, each piece presented with relevant dates, pictures, and other details useful for pretty much any rpgs. You can download the Ultimate Pulp Gear Archive files here: Ultimate Pulp Era Gear Archive - GrizzlyWiki You can download the Ultimate Western gear Archive files here: Ultimate Western Gear Archive - GrizzlyWiki Since creating them I've amassed a huge amount of extra information courtesy of a couple dozen period catalogues featuring period prices, etc. so I can always answer questions about a lot of 1870s, 1920s, and 1930s gear, sundries and weapons. cheers!

Colin Chapman Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Gary, BTW are you familiar with the Faterpg. forum. I think they would just love the Pulp stuff there. Who's Gary? No, I'm not familiar with the Faterpg forum, though I found SotC to not be my cuppa, so I guess that's not surprising. BTW, in case you're curious, the following period catalogues were used to provide details for the Western files: Great Western Gun Works, 1872 P. Powell & Son, 1875 James Bown & Son, 1876 E. Remington & Sons, 1877 Homer Fisher, 1880 Plus the highly regarded Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms, 8th Edition., Major F. Myatt's excellent Pistols & Revolvers, and a hell of a lot of painstaking research through a miscellany of other resources. When I research something I go to great pains to obtain actual period appropriate resources, such as the catalogues above; if a resource is out by more than a few years I discount it as not being accurate enough for my tastes. You would never find me using a 1890 catalogue, for example, to reference the early-mid 1880s, let alone the 1870s or earlier. I guess I'm somewhat anal that way. I have a similar (albeit larger) range of resources, catalogues, etc. for the 1920s and 1930s as well. In fact, in terms of resources, the 1930s collection I've amassed boggles even me. cheers!
