Samuel Norris and William T. Clement of Springfield, Mass. produced contract rifles during 1863 and 1864. The lockplate has the marking “S.N. & W.T.C. FOR MASSACHUSETTS” on it. I am looking for information for an article I hope will appear in The Gun Report. Interested in any primary and secondary documents, rifle markings, inspector cartouches, and any other information that you can share about the rifle or its production. I can be reached at:norris.ed@comcast.net.
