Re: A Mississippi Rifle by Todd Watts
David, thank you for your comments. I think you are on to something regarding the possiblilty of the 7th Tenn possibly using that brass clamp on device for a saber bayonet. It certainly makes sense. To my knowledge I do not think anyone makes a brass one. It would make a great addition to an impression.
(I was not very clear about this so let me clarify one thing. The only regiment in Archer's Brigade issued Miss rifles was the 7th Tenn. My ancestor unit's, the 14th were issued percussion muskets. They were probably very envious of the 7th Tenn's beautiful Miss rifles.)
