The Civil War Monitor magazine assembled a group of 'historians' to select the 20 biggest Civil War celebrities. Is six women enough women? They came in 3rd place, 10th place,14th place,17th place, 18th place, and 19th place. Can anyone one guess what six women made the cut and what place they...

A thriving industry in 1890, within 10 years it was doomed, and effectively dead by 1920. Reminds me of the guy back in the 1950s, who foresaw that technology and engineering was the wave of the future, so he invested all his money in a company that made slide-rules. Seemed a good idea at the time.

The best quality arms made by any private company are from the London Armoury Company. You'll find various opinions / facts / alternative facts about how many arms imported to the US for the Civil War were from the London Armoury. I believe only a modest percentage of the hundreds of thousands of "enfield" arms imported were from the London ...

I am working on compiling information on ramrods that were produced by the various Confederate Arsenals (sometimes called "blacksmith made" as have been observed with C&R weapons and other conversions. This would also apply to the Richmond Muskets. In fact most of the information available is on...
Were most muskets made from the same type of wood? Being from Michigan I know that huge amounts of lumber from Michigan was being sold to the Federal government, but I am not sure of the mix of hard woods and pine. My next question is, did wood have to season before it could be used in muskets?
The India made barrels are often skelp welded along the seam and made out of soft machine grade steel. This is not appropriate material or an approved method of barrel manufacture for functioning firearms. If the flash channel is drilled anywhere around that seam, it can easily weaken it and it will eventually fail.
The little (shell? bone?) ring came as a bonus in a $10 odd & ends lot from Alabama. Under magnification I can see it is hand carved and bears the inked-in initials JM. I already happen to have a soldier-made shell ring (pictured here) with a strong provenance and documentation…does the JM one...
