I have a Ball & Williams Brass Breech, single shot 44 cal. falling block rifle. According to the two bibles I have read on the Ballards, the brass breech only had 50 made, and one expert said he has only touched 8, I believe. Does anyone have knowledge of the Ballard Single Shot Rifle, pre- Marling this was built between 1863 & 1865.
If anyone has knowledge please respond and I will send you a couple links to the many pictures that I have.

Thank all of you for your time and for sharing your knowledge...
Sincerely
Kurt

I agree, post the links.

You say the Ballard bibles but not which ones. IMO the most up to date one would be the Ballard book by John Dutcher who has recorded sixteen (16) numbers and feels they made about two-hundred (200).
