I've been digging again. I need to know what markings or stampings were used on the Republic of Texas bayonets. Texas ordered muskets of the 1816 Model from GW Tryon in Philadelphia. Lockplates stamped with star and TEXAS. The republic couldn't pay for the entire shipment and it was sent back to the mfgr. Tryon sold the guns to the US and most were converted to percussion and saw service on both sides during the CW. Reason I ask; I want to get a repro bayonet and musket and remark it. I would have each marked 'Replica' in a discreet location
PS I have lost my copy of Arms for Texas. Its a great book that needs to be updated and reprinted.
