I guess you know the 29th were the vein openers of the revolution. Does anyone know if this is how the British marked there weapons?

Looks a lot like this War of 1812 era Springfield sideplate 1816 Springfield Steel Sideplate

Maybe US 29th infantry Regt.? They formed In 1813. Sure others on here know a lot more about these. What else was found nearby? Nice find!

Very cool. I have never seen a sideplate marked that way.

I found early colonial stuff. A king William 3 penny 1773 reale, shoe buckles and such. There are some French muskets from the early 1700's that look the same as this too.

If it helps any it's brass. I also think it was cast.

Just to make it harder, I have had a few people to say because of its size it went to a pistol. [emoji85]
