most likely an arsenal replacement from when the revolver was serviced

By the end of that first week of combat the battalion had fired 5560 rounds of ammunition

Original U.S. Kentucky Full Stocked .41cal Percussion Rifle with R. & W.C. Biddle & Co. Lock and Set Trigger - Circa 1845 Military Awards Medals Badges Insignia most likely an arsenal replacementOriginal Item: Only One Available. Just purchased at a recent military auction!

The design developed in Pennsylvania, and then spread down the Ohio River Valley to Kentucky, where it was very popular. This is a very nice example, with a beautiful full length maple stock featuring a bit of curl figuring, a very common wood to use on
