Cool 1861 and RARE contract lockplate found

[hunter081]

Hey all im a civil war musket nut. I found a older gentalman that had a few lockplates for sale up here in Maryland. I just bought a Dated 1863 U A CO New York lockplate. For those who dont know it stands for Union Arms Company. Less than 300 of those where made and probably only less than 50 around still. Now im gonna be looking for a 1861 full length stock to put it on and build her up. YAY!!!! Also buying a Schubarth lockplate here this week. Man good finds when patient.
