Chad - I have some information here on 2 rifles that were issued in Alabama. Hope this helps. R. Case

1. Davis & Bozeman Rifle: Under state contract, Davis & Bozeman in Central, Alabama, manufactured about 900 of these Mississippi-model arms between October 1863 and November 1864. The .58-caliber rifles had 33-inch, brass-mounted barrels and brass butt plates. ON the breech was stamped "D. & B. ALA." and the date. The armores Henry Davis and David Bozeman also repaired and altered firearms for Alabama.

2. Greenwood & Gray / J.P. Murray Rifle: This .58-caliber rifle took its name from the English superintendent of the Greenwood & Gray gun factory. J.P. Murray, who advertised in the Columbus Sun of March 31, 1863, for "50 good gunsmiths and machinists, to whom as good wages as is given in the Southern Confederacy will be paid." The Georgia firm produced 262 of these Mississippi-pattern arms for Alabama from 1863 to 1864.
