Bear Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hello Warlord,I'm not sure when it was converted, but it still works and was last fired in the 1970s. In the lower left corner of the send photo you can see the gun being held.thanks,barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WAR LORD Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 The time these were being converted was in the late 1840 early 50's. The precusion system had been invented and this was your upgrade. Local gunsmiths found this a great soarse of new income. In England you see Farmers 12 boars changed at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Where do collectors find such items? I have never heard of Revolutionary Militaria or documents being sold on the open market! Try looking on eBay for the more common items:http://collectibles.search-desc.ebay.com/r...rchiZQQsaprcloZAlso, there are a number of reputable auction houses that have document/manuscript/autograph sales on a fairly frequent basis which often include a good number of Revolutionary War documents.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
