I will take some tomorrow and post them. If the current bunch in Ottawa has its way, I am sure the military expenditure will be such that we will be relying on Louisbourg once again for coastal defence......

A handsome piece.
Nice old musket. It needs to tell you everything now from where it served to how it came to be with you.

"...they would have been called the King's Own Rifles..." Not necessarily. The QOR(formed in 1860. Vicky, who married her 1st cousin, was on the chair. Lotta militia Regiments were formed in those days. Nobody trusted our Southern Cousins to stay south. Then the Fenians came along in 1866.) were still the Queen's when KG V, Ed VIII or KG VI were on the chair. Keeping track of Brit regiments is worse than ours. They've had more mergers and amalgamations than we have.
Spelling and Grammar count!
