    Ohio CW Musket

    I was going to post a response concerning the Ohio mark/stamp but I think a new thread would be required to do so. After researching the topic for a number of years I have come across a great deal of information concerning this topic and thought it would be a great way to distinguish fact from...

    Sorry, forgot to mention but I'm really concentrated on the Altered Musket. I included the .58 cal because its part of the next portion. M1841 rifles are seen in the records but I haven't gone into detail since the bigger bulk of arms that I'm trying to point out are the altered smoothbore...

    In most cases the records that I have come across muskets and rifles are not clearly defined. They were simply listed as rifles, muskets, etc. In the early years, as well as, in the 1850s the state and national armories (according to what I have seen in the national archives) do not specify type...

    Although I am new to this forum I couldn’t resist responding to the original question, “Can someone remind me how these model 1816's made it to Ohio”¦”. I may be a little late in my response but I thought I would post anyway. First and foremost, most of my information comes from a wonderful...
