    From what I can find the first caplock patent was in 1822, with the British dragoons using them in 1833, so 1830-1860 is my ball park search area.

    Yea I’m finding info with dates all over the place, I did find a stamp on the barrel that says London, but that jives with the proof marks. Either way its old, cool, and getting fired.
