Hi guys! I am new to the sight, and I am not sure where to start with this or if im in the right spot. I was gifted an 1862 Colt Police pistol, it was built in 1861 and is below #500. On the metal piece between the handguards has an engraving. it reads
Wm. H. Hood
CAMPy A. W. G.
or
CDMPy A. W. G
the name is one thing, checking records ive found a 2 union. 1 from Rhode island, the other from Maryland. and 4 Confederate, all 4 from South Carolina.
The problem I'm running into is figuring out what CDMPy or CAMPy is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ive been at this all day and have been having a blast doing it, but have just hit a wall. I have uploaded a picture of it, so hopefully someone will understand it better than i can.
Thanks!
