ARMAMENT ISSUES
n the December issue’s “Armament,” the picture of the flintlock is not of a Model 1816 but of a Model 1795 musket. The features of the 1795 are a faceted pan, a curl on the end of the frizzen, flat faceted hammer, and a flat and rear “teated” lockplate. The Model 1816 had a slanted rounded brass pan, convex and pointed surface at the rear of the lockplate, a rounded hammer, and a straight terminus to the frizzen sitting on the frizzen spring. is a puts out.
