Gentleman adventurer, mercenary explorer, dime novel hero, and itinerant warrior in Meiji-era America.

A page primarily dedicated to Steampunk, airships, and 19th Century history, science, and technology but also Cowboy Action Shooting, some occasional politics, maybe some Valheim or Kerbal Space Program, and, well, whatever else I want to say.

For Throwback Thursday I present a replica Reed & Barton Mustache Spoon I obtained 11 years ago. This design is from 1870 but this particular spoon is a silver plate Florence pattern reproduction from the 1970s.
