Dear all,
I found in a cave this buttplate, along with late 18th-early 19th century remains:
It took me some time to identify, but I think it could be a brown bess buttplate
Brown Bess buttplate by Gearges C Neumann.
However, there are three indentations on all Brown Bess buttplates, mine has 2.
I searched deeply in the forum, and I found what it might be:
Kirk took a picture of a book and it could be item n°2 in this book: "Archaeological Investigation of Fort Ligonier 1960-1965" by Jacob L. Grimm.
18th Century British Brown Bess Butt Plate and Colonial Copper (3rd picture)
Anyone can tell me what is #2 ?
Any other idea of the exact model of this buttplate ?
many thanks
Olivier
