important update: I made this update after the post while examining the photo, I realized that it was the muzzle of a handgun. I believe it to be the muzzle of a Allen and Wheelock revolver pepperbox handgun, it’s larger then must muzzles and it sure as heck looks like it. I have made a poll for a voting on if you guys believe it to be a Allen and Wheelock revolver pepperbox Handgun.
Also if you have the time please vote.
in this photo of my ancestor Charles B. Wilson of the 34th Illinois company A I am fairly certain that on his right side I have found a gun holster for a pistol. For about a month I have had the most random instinct to find out what pistol he used for no reason, heck he may of not had a pistol in the first place. But my gut is telling me find out what pistol he used so I’m following my gut on this random question on what pistol he used. While doing some research I was able to figure out that he had used a .69 caliber Springfield 1842 musket rifle. Hope this helps.
