Yes, straight grip guns were more common on the earlier hammer guns.

Well at least I don't feel like I robbed the guy anymore. I wish it was pre-civil war and I would let the museum have it for a while. I have an 1813 s/s as well that was used in the civil war by my great great grand father, and they wanted it, but I had to decline because they wanted to do a full restore on it, and I want to keep that one exactly how he had it.

any pictures of the 1813 sxs? Who was the maker and is it still a flinter or was it converted?

I didn't know anything about them until after I got this one and started researching. I do have some pics, but they are on my phone, I will try to put them up later for you. It is a rust bucket, It is a neat family history gun that hangs on the wall. I can hardly read the brand and don't remember it off the top of my head.
