Hiwalls in Ballard calibers

Just wondering if anyone knows how many Hiwalls were made in Ballard calibers, not the 32-40 or 38-55 Ballard as those were "Winchesterized", but calibers such as 40-70 Ballard, 40-90 Ballard or others. I have a Hiwall in 40-90 Ballard, so I know at least one. It was shipped in 1891.

Thanks,

max

load the old ones with the old tools.....

  Hello blackpowdermax,
  
  Yes, I have that information (and it will be published in my future reference book about the Model 1885 Single-Shot).
  
  32 Ballard Extra Long = 48
  38 Ballard Extra Long = 5
  38-50 Ballard = 1
  40-50 Ballard = 13
  40-70 Ballard = 339
  40-90 Ballard = 104
  45-90 Ballard = 5
  
  Is you high-wall marked "40-90 BALLARD" or "40-90 BAL".
  
  If you don't mind, please contact me through the information in my profile (I would like to know a bit more about your old high-wall).
  
  Regards,
  
  Bert H.
  
  Real Men use a SINGLE-SHOT!
