It looks like many of the parts have the letter X. Very nice early piece. I have a 1813 dated lock with a butt plate dated 1816. With the square type band springs. Thanks for sharing.

The font (numbers) on my 1855 musket is very different than yours.
Nice looking musket, keep in mind the long range rear sight was also used on .69 cal. Muskets. When they were rifled and sighted. Not sure the difference in yardage was. Have to look at mine when i...

Nice looking any proof marks on the stock opposite the lock.

My rifle sn 798 barrel date 8-22, has no hole. Also my stock has grasping groves.
Nice looking rifle, punch mark in the center of bomb indicates the rifle was overhauled. Or at least reinspected.
I looked up the sn., Its not listed in the DCM Rifle Sales book. Now that doesn't mean its not a NM rifle. It should have a cartouche D.A.L. Or S.A. S.P.G. Buying firearms like that its best to see...
Thats good to hear i heard this from a friend of mine. I will see him at the Baltimore show. Al that is.
I just heard that Al Frascia passed away.
Not sure what he means by type ll. I have 3 HB rifles in my collection. None look like that.
I think it said 1947
I see you have Pete's book on musket are the other ones George Moller's book? George is a great guy alway willing to help other collectors the same for Pete.
Your 1840 is it original flint or a reconversion. Those sre very rare today. Wish i had one the last one i saw went for 20k.
Nice collection, your 1795 type l you say is undated? Mine is dated on top of the butt plate 1802. But yours is not?
On Memorial Day a group of friends will be putting on a display on W.W I at Wisconsin Memorial Park. To honor that Great War. Lets all remember. I will post pictures of it if that is ok. I thought i...
I will post pictures after the holiday weekend. Heading out of town. We will be putting on a military display of W.W.I on Memorial Day.
My 1842 saw hard use, like so many Hall carbines. The other rare one in the collection is the 1840 elbow lever. Only 500 were produced before the fishtail lever came into use.
I know the book is out of print. But im sure you can find it. Pete also wrote two great books in U.S. Flint Muskets. He spent 30 years doing research. Also must have books. Maybe i will post pics. of...
My last hall was the rare 1842 brass mounted carbine. Haven't bought any in sometime.
Nice collection Pete Schmidt who wrote the book on Halls is a good friend. Some of my Hall's are in the book. If you don't have that book it's a must have. My 1824 dated rifle along with my 1840...
