Thanks for this info! I would love to find out how this gun got from GA up here to NY and there may be a clue in these links. I read through when I get a chance.

More to the story of this gun, the guy I bought it from got it from a local gun dealer. He got a tip that there was a yard sale in one of the small hill towns nearby (Corinth, NY) and some guns were out for sale. He went up there and found this gun.

Must be Mr. Lincoln brought it with him when he came north and somehow it made it's way to Corinth, NY. Fascinating to think about.
