I collect old WBTS muskets, if they could talk I could listen all day long. There’s a man in my town that’s a retired preacher that probably knows more about firearms from the War of Northern Aggression than any source you can pull up online. This old gentleman has told me several times of seeing “living” Confederate Veterans when he was a boy, I don’t know how old he is but bet he’s probably in his early 90’s now.
