You make it up to my neck of the woods and I always have some on hand I would be glad to share a glass or two.

You might find it on this site. On left, click on gun parts. Then scroll down to Buttplates & Buttcaps.

Bumping an old thread because I believe that a butt plate that I found at a trading post site in Minnesota may well be the same as the one posted here. I'm still hoping to ID mine.

I just found a very similar butt plate on a trade musket, except that this one is steel.
