Good morning from a newbie

[R. S. Morris]

I just joined this morning from Georgia. I have a 1838 Pomeroy Percussion Musket. Would love to learn more about it and can share what I have learned.

Welcome to the Forum.

I will start a "conversation" with you and send you the details on your Model 1816 flintlock musket, built by Lemuel Pomeroy, a Springfield Armory contractor, in 1838. It was likely converted to percussion in the1850's. Keep a lookout for it.

This one of the advantages of belonging to our bunch here.

There are a lot of books which include model 1816 conversions. James E. Hicks, P. Schmidt, Robert Riley, George D. Moller, and Claude E Fuller are some of them. If Pomeroy happened to get his barrel made at Springfield Armory that would be a very good thing (for shooting, can't say about collecting)
I've been reading up on revolver mfg. in Macon, GA. Lots & lots of difficulties Wife called my Spiller & Burr something like "that ratty pistol". But I like it.
