We have all been in the position of handling a weapon from this period and saying to ourselves.. "I only wish this piece could talk". Unfortunately, almost all of them are just un ID'd and will remain as such but there are odds that are kind of fascinating to think about..
For example.. What are the odds that an 1862 dated Springfield would have served with the Army of the Potomac and been with one of the Union Corps in the Chancellorsville to Gettysburg time frame ?
I have heard that a lot of the 61's went to the Army of the Potomac but not sure if that is true or not.
Sure wish they could talk....
