Hall M1819 flintlock obrez

Designed by John Hancock Hall c.1811, manufactured c.1820~30′s by the Harpers Ferry Arsenal in West Virginia.
.525 caliber ball, single shot flintlock breechloader, Native American decoration.

The Hall rifle in its less altered form was the first breechloading long arm to be adopted my a military, beating the Dreyse M1821 needle rifle by two years. This one has gotten some work done to itself and I love it.
