    “Gunslinger” is largely going to be after 1865, after the US Civil War. Revolvers as we know them in the old west only existed after the 1850s. The first revolvers that you would call a revolver would be about 1835. So you don’t really have the overlap for French privateer, unless it’s a former privateer.

        Elderly would be an understatement. Assuming that they were 20 when piracy ended, you’re looking at a minimum of 58 for the start of the Meiji restoration, which is very old to be in an adventuring party, esp. if everyone else is in their 20s and 30s.
