My Site Supervisor found this gang mold in an old house in South East Indiana. He heard I was into muzzleloaders, so he brought it to work wanting to know how old it might be. Problem is, I really don't know much about them. It doesn't look modern, looks like its blacksmith made, but I don't see any evidence that it's wrought iron. Interestingly, it looks like its sub-.32 cal. I didn't get to measure it, but I shoot a lot of small caliber, and it seemed small. Any-who, I told him its likely late percussion period (which made him happy), being small caliber. But, I told him I'd ask on here to see what the more experienced think.
