Offered here is a complete M1861 Rifle Musket lockplate. Piece is complete with hammer and all internal components. Iron is rusty and pitted, as is to be expected with any iron relic. Iron remains perfectly stable. Recovered in “Derr property woods” (along Taneytown Road, near Artillery Ridge Campground).

This relic was once part of the Iva Rosensteel collection. Mrs. Rosensteel is the sister of George Rosensteel, who started the Electric Map museum in Gettysburg. Eventually, it became a part of the Rider collection in Gettysburg, which remained in the family until The Horse Soldier purchased much of the collection.    [jet] [ph:L]
