This past week my 18yr old son and I did an East Coast trip to DC and Philadelphia, visiting some great historical sites. In Philadelphia, we visited the National Constitution Center, that had a special display going on about Hamilton. This display included replicas of the "dueling pistols" used that ended his life. My son and I listened to a docent bumble though how the pistols were used and the result. It was painful as even with my limited black powder knowledge I knew the guy was WAY out of his depth. He had zero firearm knowledge. So I figure what better way to learn about what went down than to just buy/build a replica pistol, then shoot it.
Only info I have is this: They were originally manufactured in England by gunsmith Robert Wogdon
The one that's percussion cap, is a conversion that was done to the original flintlock. It's assumed it was done after Hamilton's death from what I understand. I am looking for the flintlock version.
Looking for any leads on buying one or a kit for building one.
