I don't have a good pic or further information on this gun yet, but would like any information.
There is an exhibit in Baton Rouge right now regarding the West Florida Rebellion of 1810. An article in the local paper lists, as part of the exhibit, a "musket" of one of the participants, who died in 1812.
But the article included a photo of some of the items, and part of the gun is visible. It clearly has a beaver-tail cheekpiece, but I thought that those came along later.
Can anyone enlighten me, please?
Thanks,
Hugh
