I never have seen a percussion Hudson Bay Trade Gun. Would this be a conversion or built as a percussion? Lock is marked Hollis.

They made some percussion ones in last year's and some were converted too. I seen a pic of a Indian chief with a percussion one who was involved in the 2nd Metis revolt in Canada. A past Museum of the fur trade quarterly has an article about the first visit ever of the head of the Hudson Bay Company to Canada in the early 1900's. It says the Eskimos preferred the latest guns but the Indians liked their trade guns and it shows them welcoming his visit shooting their percussion trade guns in the air.
