Description
The goal of this project is to determine if the Civil War era Pulaski Musket owned by the UNI museum has been fired before. To do this, the presence of gun powder residue on the Pulaski Musket was compared to other gun from the museum's collection via X Ray Fluorescence. Sulfur and lead components that typically make up gun powder residue were analyzed.
