Hi All,
Today, a friend discovered this trigger guard during a hunt on the Maine island where we live. We have both been fortunate to find numerous artifacts going back to the mid-1700's at sites around the island. Over the last couple years, he and I have found several trigger guards and other bits of hardware that have been positively identified as being from "Brown Bess Muskets". This one, however has a unique decorative shape. Can anyone out there help with an ID?
Thanks very much,
--Bert
