Hello everyone! This is my first post. Thanks for having me!
I am making this thread to ask some questions about the new Pedersoli Harpers Ferry percussion pistol. I have a keen interest in this gun, and would like to purchase one for possible use in the smoothbore pistol even but would like some input first. I assume that this new Pedersoli gun is modeled after the Harpers Ferry 1805 pistol, one with a percussion conversion.
I have two main questions:
1. Were any Harpers Ferry pistols of this type ever actually converted to percussion, and were they actually used in the United States Civil War?
2. Is this Pedersoli gun authentic in construction and appearance, especially, is the bright "in the white" metal finish on this pistol historically accurate?
If you all could please help me in regards to these questions, or point me to resources where I can read up on this, it would be tremendously appreciated. I look forward to talking with you all and making friends. Thank you all so much for your time!
