Description:
This is an extremely rare Confederate rifle made from 1862-1863 by the firm of Read and Watson in Danville, Virginia, by altering a .52 caliber Hall M1819 breechloading rifle to a percussion muzzle-loader. Virginia had acquired 1,000 of these rifles from 1836 to 1838 (and an equal number of carbines) from the U.S. government under the terms of the 1808 militia act. Existing payment vouchers from May 1862 to September 1863 show the state paid Read and Watson for converting roughly 900-1,000 Halls. Most were apparently the rifles.
