I recently aquired two old military pistols that are in ok condition, I guess. I might have paid al ittle strong, but I really like US military items, and especially black powder. I try and collect Springfield items and though these are not made by Springfield, I have been told they were designed by Springfield. I would welcome ant comments.
I would attach photos but cant tell how to do it??
One is a US Model 1836 flintlock made in 1838.
The other a US Model 1842 made in 1851.
They are both complete and functional, but have seen hard use, and not very good care it seems.
