Thanks John, for the recommend of Dan Morgan. Very knowledgable on English guns, and there is a lot more to it than just finding a hammer and sticking it on. He talked to me for quite a while about it. That said, I emailed him a bunch of pictures, and he got back to me same day. It was built from standard Birmingham parts, and he may even have a hammer there that works. Sending it out to him.we will see what happens.
He got a kick out of Grandma Pickens, who was a Morgan who immigrated from Wales--a common name there. Then there was my Uncle Horace H. Hussey--have to see if we go back to the English gunmaker H.H. Hussey. The Pickens themselves were Scotch-Irish immigrants that came over in the 1790's
