As reported in Texian Iliad, Stephen Austin carried two percussion pistols at the 1835 siege of the Alamo. Any of these pistols found in the lead district? I offer the following item. The ledgers of Robert Campbell, a fur trader of note located in St. Louis, have been kept by the St. Louis Mercantile Library, now the U. MO. library. Note this statement:

pd Hawkins for Pistols $30.00

Emphasis added. This account is from March, 1832.

Listed amongst thier many goods were "percussion caps." Pete
