Please save up your pennies, so you can buy lots of my stuff when I get home! Or if you can't wait, check out Jefferson Arsenal and Columbia River Arsenal (links below), and they'll take care of you.
Don't worry: all existing orders will be filled! If you ordered recently, you will get your items before I leave.
Retail Shop Hours
Open most Saturdays from 12-6pm. Occasionally I am closed on Saturday, either for Army Reserve drill, or if I'm at an event. You can call or email ahead of your visit to confirm I'll be there.
I am often sold out due to high demand. If you can't find what you need, my friends Jon and Rich might be able to help you. Check out their store links below:

Useful Things for Black Powder nerds
At Paper Cartridges LLC, I make and sell handmade replicas of Civil War Minie ball cartridges and other for living historians, reenactors, collectors, and enthusiasts. I do not sell firearms or loaded ammunition. All of my products are inert historic reproductions. They do not contain any gunpowder or live ammunition. Additionally, all of my products are shipped by the U.S. Postal Service, which prohibits dangerous materials such as firearms, live ammunition, or gunpowder. Pictures of antique muskets are for historic ambiance only, and they are not for sale.
