Title: WF Ohio barrel
Post by: Ken G on July 30, 2009, 05:27:57 PM

I recently aquired an old percussion barrel with the intials W F stamped just behind the rear sight dovetail.  The adjacent flat has OHIO stamped on it.  Barrel is 36" in length and right at .45 cal.  3 barrel lugs with spacing that indicates a full stock rifle.  This came from an estate sale in TN.

This ring a bell to anyone?  Any information is appreciated.  Thanks,
Ken
