    Summary of a current research topic: I’m researching the specific 2.9 inch Parrott rifles used in the First Battle of Bull Run during the Civil War. As of the date of the battle only 18 of the ten-pounder Parrott Rifles had been delivered to the Army. 16 of those were at the battle. 9 of the 16 were captured by the South. Of the 18 guns then in the Army, two survive, registry numbers 2 and 10. I’m looking for any mention of 2.9 inch Parrott Rifle registry numbers as far as which numbers had been issued to Ricketts’ and Griffins’ batteries at Washington Arsenal, etc.
