Greetings from over the pond.
Well today,I do have a question.
I own an original 1816 musket (1837 Harpers Ferry - converted via cone in barrel)
Pedersoli offers the one and only Repro flintlock with a 1816 Harpers Ferry Lockplate.
Does anybody know when production for the 1816 flintlock started at HF ??
For the 42 musket as far as I know they started at HF in 1843 (right ?) and at Springfield in 1844 (with a production rate of nearly 7.000 for the first year).
But what about the 1816 musket ? If I remember well there is a 1816 stamped lockplate in the museum in springfield
Kind regards
