Objects in the Pamplin Collection relating to George Washington include, at the top, an American Revolutionary period stocked musket, with a 46-inch barrel, and a cherry stock made in the British Brown Bess style. With its pre-French and Indian War French lock and brass trigger guard and rammer pipes, the gun is a fine example of American-made brass hardware. The pistol is an all-American made Virginia cherry stocked weapon with a trigger guard that has “Liberty Cap” engraved on it, brass nose and butt caps, rammer pipe, and side plate. Similar to what the Rappahannock Forge made during the Revolutionary War. The powder horn is engraved with the words, “From Pittsfield to Fort Ticonderoga, December 17, 1776, Chas Goodrich, his horn.” The Washington peace medal, with its original hair bone and brass beaded necklace, was presented to the chief of the Caughnawagas Iroquios by Daniel Eccleston (1745-1821). The reverse depicts a downcast Indian surrounded by the words, “This Land was Ours.”
