: I have several rather stupid questions.......

>No, not stupid at all...

: WHO is Le Francais Trader? the one making the Hawkeye wampum sash?

>Cant tell ya', I dont know...

: And even more to the point...what did Hawkeye use the sash for in the movie. I can't tell right off hand. Was it for his powder horn? A sling for his rifle? A strap for his haversack? Or what?

>I for one dont recall [gasp!]...but any of those possibilities would work during the F&I War (Rogers Rangers or Highland Light Infantry) or with Butler's Rangers/Indian Dept. during the Rev' War; except for the haversack, it would actually be on your shooting pouch (your haversack would be of canvas).
Of course you'd want a stout one for a rifle sling (powder horn would be best bet)...

: I like the sash as seen on the gift shop page, and will likely get one one of these days soon, but don't know whether to sling my rifle with it, or my powder horn, or what.......

>[*see above]...not knowing how stoutly made this one is, its something the maker needs to tell you....
Also, depends on your "impression" (persona) your portraying...

: Thanks for explaining........

: BR

>Hope it helps ;-)
