I was very, very fortunate to be invited to hold, aim, and love on this Springfield. My husband and I were invited to a re-enactment at Phillipston, Mass. a couple of weeks ago by our own @captaindrew. He had a pal there that actually owns this. It's history was verified by Springfield Armory. It was on the Federal side, got captured and used by the Confederates, and then got retaken by the Federals again. It is one of his friend's most treasured possessions. But I have a feeling that as the day gets longer, the gun gets heavier!
