The New Trade Gun: Guns were an important trade item. Ownership in some cases meant the deciding factor in holding territory or survival. This Cheyenne is admiring his new flintlock of Belgian make. It has a 30” barrel, which through misuse will eventually be shortened, but it is sturdy and will have a long life”. – Tom Lovell
