Title: Interesting patchbox layout
Post by: johngross on February 16, 2018, 03:22:17 AM

I saw this for sale at Dave Taylor's Civil War collectibles. Not my gun nor do I have any interest in it, but the patchbox and decoration is certainly different.

Unique!  Capbox (as apposed to patchbox) for certain.
