Hi All,
Were all 1809 Prussian muskets (aka Potsdam) made with that huge nipple? The reason I am asking is I have a Potsdam that looks to have a Springfield size nipple....much smaller that the normal large nipple i usually see on these muskets. Is this an alteration or were some actually made with this nipple size?
Thanks!
