In almost every relic collection I see there are lots of brass buttplates. Why is this? Are these plates the remains of a rifle that was dropped and the iron deterioted or were the buttplates just somehow disgarded by troop? This has always puzzled me.
I have a broken/twisted brass buttplate which someone told me was likely from an Enfield type rifle I am unsure how one would tell one buttplate from the next. Thanks for any help.
