Remington Society

Found this in the Southern Historical Society Papers. Is this too close to an April 1863 dated revolver to make it in the field? Vol 33 (pg 87-89 i think) The enemy were pursued for several miles, many being killed and captured. The wagons were then brought back with the prisoners to Freeman's, and ...

Can’t help with the finish but that’s a beautiful shotgun

Frank Mallory did extensive research at the archives recording serial numbers and was the original owner of Springfield Research Services until his passing. And he provided his research for free. Not sure who has it now. I know someone who has the 1995 versions of Frank’s books. Will see if I can ga...

Thanks Bill on the cartouche. I suspected GP. I have copies of both his records from Quinn’s and Powers’ Cavalry along with about 60 letters him, his brothers and their wives wrote to each other throughout the war. Two brothers were in the 7th Mississippi Infantry Regiment with one being killed at S...

Got no hits on unit in Frank Mallory’s 1995 book. Micajah Wilkinson, first served in the 2nd Mississippi I...
