  • In a letter to Horace Kephart on April 30, 1919, J. D. Carpenter, secretary of the Lancaster Rifle Club, discusses a small collection of pistols he acquired from Mr. Sawyer. Since he received the Springfield rifle, Mr. Carpenter explains he will review the rifle’s description for Mr. Sawyer’s manuscript. He discusses his gun collection, including pistols, rifles, muskets, and carbines. He mentions the prospect of viewing an 1824 J. H. Halls Harpers Ferry Flintlock rifle, but had a misunderstanding with the owner.
