From time to time I do see copies of the Blackmore book for sale and if you would like me to let you know when I find one I would be happy to do that for you. Your post stated that you did not know of any of the guns being used in the sea service with 26' bbls. I just wanted to state that some were, even if they were not regulation. The picture of the sea service gun sure looks like it was made from a Bess. I won't belabor the point. The caption does state that it was made up from old parts.
I would like to know a lot more about sea service small arms and I will be building a reference library. This is a great forum for the exchange of such information.
