A college friend of mine lives in the family 1840’s double pen two story log farm house. The Springfield musket of a returning ancestor hung over the fireplace all his life.
When he became a teenage reenactor he was allowed to handle the family relic. “On a dark & stormy night” he decided to snap a cap because it would be cool.
The resulting bullet hole in the plaster next to the fire place is covered by a photo of his teen self in uniform holding the musket that still hangs there.
