Where is the museum?  I think I have a 10 inch but not sure how to determine for sure it's British if no broad arrow.  Mine has the thick close lifting loops and came from the Boston area.

Hi Jack
This is Ronnie in Port Hudson.  I see you are looking to help a War of 1812 Museum.  I might have something of interest.  My email is cwarmory@yahoo.com.

Jack Wells:
Is this the Ronnie that Miltion and I hunted with back In the early 70's,after both you and I got back from Nam? If so Hi after four (4) decades.Sadly Milton passed away some years ago. Still remember with fondness hunting Port Hudson, and the Baton Rouge Shows.
Will pass your e-mail address on to Jim  Monday.
Many thanks to every one  for the help.
Jack
