Hi Blurhawk,
If the mood strikes to scan it, it's sure be fun to get to see it..! Thank you!
How curious they indicate the Loading Lever could be used for seating/compressing with Metallic Cartridge re-loading. This implies a Shooter wouold have to own a similar Caliber Cap & Ball Revolver, to their Metallic Cartridge Revolver, in order to be able to do that.
Conversion Guns, far as I recall, would no longer have a Loading Lever, but, a long Cartridge Extractor installed instead...even as was the case with the 'Open Top' Model which preceded the SAA as we know it today.
I have heard a few mentions of Lube Wafers being used both in Factory Ammunition and in Home re-loading, at the dawn of the reloadable Metallic Cartridge era.
This does make one wonder about the Percussion era, and why no mention of interior Lube methods seem to occur.
Of course, the early Metallic Cartridge era is associated with 'Outside Lubed' Bullets, usually 'Heeled' kinds...but yet we also have these occasional period mentions of Lube Wafers being used inside the CArtridge itself, situated between Bullet and Powder.
