Weapon's at this time were limited. The most common were the rifle and shotgun (fowler). Eye glasses were not common and a shotgun was very popular for hunting at close distances. Hunting knives and skinning knives would also have been used. Clubs and Tomahawks were very common. Swords were rare! Blades would have been imported from England and the hilt and handle would have been fabricated locally. In time of war plug bayonet would have been used. Knives generally grew in length in time of war and were shortened during peace time. Clubs were more often a weapon of urgency when nothing else was at hand. The tomahawks were perhaps the most common due to their functionality.
