Adam Savage examines the original 1701 shooting model
I could've sworn it was larger (they keep saying 11 ft, but I seem to recall all the reference materials saying 14 ft), given previous photos. I may have even seen it in person when the Smithsonian did their nationwide tour back in the nineties (great field trip!).
I still think it's silly that there is some "you have to change x% of the design or you'd have to pay someone royalties" nonsense that keeps the classic design from ever reappearing.
