"TEXAS CONFEDERATE ALTERATION OF HALL RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. 64. The following described gun was found in Texas and is a most unusual alteration to percussion. Mr. Michel, in his notes, describes this gun as follows: "Alteration to percussion of Model 1819 Hall rifle. Breechblock marked 'J. H. Hall / H. Ferry / U. S. / 1831'. This alteration performed by a striker inserted between the jaws of the hammer with a percussion nipple screwed into the former pan. This example was recovered in Texas and shows the effect, not uncommon, of a blowout resulting from loose powder being ignited inside the breech. Wood on the right side has been completely blown away alongside the breech and striker. Top jaw and jaw screw of hammer shorn off". Similar examples are described, but not shown, in Murphy & Madaus. CONDITION: Gun appears in as-found condition. All metal parts are brown and pitted. Stock exhibits several breaks and missing approx. 11" section on right side as described above allowing mechanism to be shown. Gun lacks ramrod and top jaw and striker to nipple. 4-31283 JS150 (2,000-4,000)"
