A SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1816 WITH THE HEWES AND PHILLIPS CONVERSION IN SEMI-RELIC
CONDITION, I GOT
THIS OUT OF NORTH GEORGIA AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN EARLY BATTLEFIELD PICKUP, THE
SELLER DID NOT
KNOW WHAT BATTLE FIELD BUT FROM WHERE IT CAME FROM YOU'D SUSPECT CHICKAMAUGA OR
DUG GAP,
IT IS IN EXCELLENT RELIC CONDITION WITH UNIFORM, VERY SHALLOW SURFACE PITTING TO
ALL THE METAL,
THE STOCK IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE WITH ONLY EXPECTED BATTLE BRUISES, STILL HAS A
VISIBLE CARTOUCHE
SPRINGFIELD / 1837 AND PART OF THE EAGLE ARE STILL FAINTLY VISIBLE ON THE LOCK
PLATE, THE ACTION IS
STILL TIGHT AND FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY, THE SLING SWIVELS ARE BOTH FROZEN IN PLACE,
RAM ROD IS MISSING,
COOLEST THING ABOUT THIS WEAPON IS THAT THE BARREL IS SLIGHTLY BENT, WAS THIS
BATTLE DAMAGE, A
FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO DESTROY IT BEFORE CAPTURE, OR SOMETHING ELSE? UNFORTUNATELY WE
WILL NEVER
KNOW, IN ANY EVENT THIS IS A WONDERFUL RELIC THAT DISPLAYS GREAT AND NO DOUBT
SAW THE ELEPHANT
