I’m a sucker for crusty old guns and just picked up a pair of Trapdoors! I’ve got some questions and may need some help. I have Poyer’s nook on them and will be referencing it a bunch. The long one seems to be late production and is missing it’s rear sight. The finish is kind of rough but the bore looks good and I’m assuming it’ll be a good shooter once I get a sight for it.
The cut down one is very rough and may just be a wall hanger but it’s pretty cool. It has 1864 stamped on the lock plate and a very low serial number. Unfortunately the bore is pretty much smooth and the Trapdoor is very loose. If anyone has any good reference websites or articles, I’d love to hear about them!
