Hall flintlock, congressional issue.

Came across this display at a local gun show, cool story! Going to research it more.

I remember seeing one of these issued by Congress for sale in one of Flaydermans old catalogs. Such a great story.

I have one of each, both original, flintlock and the first percussion model, with the ‘whale tail’ lever,

Here’s the bore on the flintlock, looks brand new!

Before he passed, my BP Mentor and best friend in life looked for a long time for one of those, but never found one. The pride of his Hall collection was a "Civilian" Flintlock Hall Rifle.

Was there one of the Hall Flasks issued with this rifle?

Hall flintlock and cap locks were common in New England during the 70-80's till they got recognized as a great buy after the Besse's and long KY were bought up.
