National Commander
Dear N-SSA Members,
As my tenure as National Commander comes to an end, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared. Serving as your Commander has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Together, we’ve celebrated our shared passion for history, camaraderie, and marksmanship, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead this remarkable organization.
This year’s 150th National Skirmish was a particularly special milestone. To stand shoulder to shoulder with so many dedicated members during such a historic event was nothing short of inspiring. The success of the Skirmish—and indeed every N-SSA event—was made possible by the tireless efforts of our volunteers, unit leaders, and competitors. Your dedication to preserving our heritage and ensuring these events run smoothly exemplifies the best of what our Association represents. Thank you for your commitment, hard work, and spirit of unity.
As I pass the torch, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dave Cole on stepping into the role of National Commander. I am confident that under his leadership, the N-SSA will continue to thrive and achieve even greater success. Dave brings a wealth of experience, dedication, and vision to this position, and I know he will guide us with skill and integrity.
As I look to the future, I am optimistic about what lies ahead for our Association. I encourage each of you to remain engaged, to recruit new members to carry on our traditions, and to continue striving for excellence on and off the field.
It has been my privilege to serve as your Commander, and I look forward to watching this extraordinary organization grow and succeed in the years to come.
Stay safe, and be well,
Deputy National Commander

The Robert L. Miller Award as Part of the N-SSA
Robert L. Miller (1911 – 1972) can legitimately be called one of the “Founding Fathers” of the N-SSA. Bob was a World War II veteran and worked most of his adult life as a designer at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, working primarily as a designer of postage and revenue stamps. Bob was one of the original eight members of Ernest W. Peterkin’s “Washington Blue Rifles” and participated as an N-SSA skirmisher for the rest of his life. More than this, Bob was a lifelong student and collector of Civil War uniforms and equipment remembered for his willingness to share both his collection and knowledge to further the study of American military history. He made invaluable contributions to many books and periodicals in the form of research and illustrations, not the least of which were the “Skirmish Line” and “Journal of the Company of Military historians”, where his drawings can be found in numerous issues.
Following Bob’s passing in 1972, the Robert L. Miller Memorial Award fund was established. This fund provides awards to individuals who make significant contributions to advancing the study of American military history. Besides the award made within the N-SSA, two other Robert L. Miller awards are made by the Company of Military Historians, and the Potomac Arms Collectors Association.
Within the N-SSA Skirmish Rules (Sec. 34.1) “The Robert L Miller Award was created to encourage historical research, production and the wearing of authentic Civil War clothing at N-SSA shooting events for public education of both participants and the general public”. The Miller Award competition is held during the Spring Nationals at 4 p.m. on Saturday at Memorial Park. The award may be won by any N-SSA member in good standing but may be won only one time by any individual. The award consists of a 2 ½” bronze medal bearing Bob’s likeness. Competitors for the award are to wear the same basic uniform conforming to their unit’s bylaws. The point system used to judge and award the Miller Award can be found in Table 34.1 of the N-SSA Skirmish Rules. The first competition of the Robert L. Miller Memorial Award was conducted in May 1974. Though not awarded every year, the Miller Award medal has been awarded 32 times since that date. The authenticity related competition has been expanded since 1974 to include the “Jack Rawls and Ernest Peterkin Awards” (N-SSA Skirmish Rules Sec. 34.2). This competition was created as an adjunct to also enhance public education of both participants and the general public. In this aspect of competition those individuals who, while not the highest scoring competitor (i.e., not the winner of the Robert L. Miller Award) have scored 100 points or more. The Jack Rawls award is presented to competitors representing Confederate units and the Ernest Peterkin award to competitors representing Union units. These competitive recognition awards are made, as appropriate, as part of the regular Spring National Miller Award competition. Finally, and again as part of the core mission of enhancing the education of both members and the general public, Skirmish Rules section 34.3 allows for a “Most Authentic Unit Award”. This competition is held at the Fall Nationals at Memorial Park at 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon and competing units must appear with a minimum number of five of their unit members. Units appearing for this competition must appear in the uniform prescribed in their unit bylaws. Competing units, Union or Confederate, must receive at least 100 out of a possible 125 points, with the highest score above 100 points winning the competition. Each unit is allowed a spokesman to present the unit’s history and impression description to the judges of the competition. All judging for the competitions described above is performed by the N-SSA’s Uniform Committee, presided over by the Uniform Committee Chairman. Most or all the committee members are themselves previous winners of the Robert L. Miller Memorial Award. Besides acting as judges for these competitions, the Uniform Committee acts in an advisory capacity to the N-SSA both to the organization at large as well as to individual units. New, prospective, or probationary units can expect to be inspected for compliance with the section on “Uniforms” described in the Skirmish Rules when they appear for their Probationary Skirmish at an N-SSA National Skirmish. Existing units are also heartily encouraged to consult with the Uniform Committee when they contemplate changes to their uniform related unit bylaws. Finally, the Uniform Committee is heartily glad to offer informal consultation and advice to any N-SSA unit or individual member in the matter of uniformed appearance to achieve the N-SSA’s stated intention of “...presenting authentic appearance of the Civil War period...”. This article is intended to provide a description of the Robert L. Miller Award and related competitions, as well as to describe the role of the Uniform Committee. Additional and specific detail can be found in “Section 23: Uniform” and “Section 34: Uniform Competition” of “The Skirmish Rules of the North – South Skirmish Association Inc.”. A special note of acknowledgment and thanks goes out to Earl “Jerry” Coates, and Fred Gaede for their contributions.

A Lubrication Conundrum
By Jim Van Eldik, Iredell Blues
A couple of years ago, I set out to equip my son-in-law for N-SSA skirmishing. He had shown keen interest for quite some time and had even attended a national event at Fort Shenandoah. The impetus for getting things moving came after I drove my Chevy pickup into the sidewall of the Hobby Lobby in Rome (Georgia, that is). Soon after my return home, the state authorities in Georgia announced they would prefer I no longer occupy the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle. Motivation became acute to activate my son-in-law as both a skirmisher and a transporter to skirmish events.
My son-in-law was “all in” for the idea, especially since I offered to equip him and cover all expenses—if he did the driving. Which brings us to the first step in any skirmisher’s journey: acquiring a musket. Over the years, I’d had great success with my Euroarms three-band Enfield. In fact, it helped lift both North Carolina’s Iredell Blues and Tennessee’s Forest Escort out of the doldrums of Class A-2 into the netherworld of Class A-1. So, to equip my son-in-law, I found an almost-new two-band Euroarms Enfield on the Forum. It promised to make setting up the new gun a “piece of cake,” so to speak. The Euroarms two-bander seemed to be the dwarf twin of my trusty three-bander.
But it was not to be. Upon testing it on the range using my standard musket rounds, the new Enfield sprayed the Minies all over the place. A few rounds even punched through the paper sideways. What could be the problem?
Naturally, I carried the new musket off to my workshop for an extensive study of its innards. After in-depth analysis, the problem became clear: the rifling was outrageously shallow. It was so faint you had to squint to see it at all. I’d liken the rifling depth to the thickness of Saran Wrap you find covering those pink cupcakes at Kroger. My dilemma: how do you get the Minie ball skirts to grab hold of such a tenuous purchase?
There are a number of pathways N-SSA members take to remedy such a situation. A common first response from many of our more affluent competitors is to run to a custom barrel maker for a new barrel or, if that’s not feasible, to Bobby Hoyt for a reline. Being of conservative Dutch Reformed stock, I was not inclined to do either. I had purchased an almost-new gun, and as the saying goes, I expected it to “dance with the pixies.”
The first solution I tested was increasing the powder charge, steadily raising it to 55 grains—the maximum my cartridge cases could hold. At the same time, I tried several different Minie balls: my usual Lyman traditional, the extra-long traditional Minie from Lee, and that shortened Lyman Minie that looks like a squashed witch’s hat. Eventually, my son-in-law was saddled with a hot round of nearly 60 grains of FFFg behind the Lyman traditional Minie. The resulting group wasn’t exactly tight, but at least all the rounds passed through the target nose-first.
Then, after about a year or two, inspiration struck. I can’t recall exactly what triggered it, but in a fit of nostalgia, my mind floated back to the serene days of my youth in Minnesota. This was back in the ’70s—before the good citizens burned down Minneapolis and adopted the Somali flag as their new state emblem. Back then, I was a fairly new black powder shooter and had acquired what I believe was the second of my many muzzleloaders. It was a Navy Arms version of the flintlock rifle Lewis and Clark carried on their trek to Oregon. Navy Arms had opted for a non-authentic .58 caliber musket barrel rather than the original .54 caliber.
Naturally, it wasn’t long before I tried a Minie ball in the gun. At the time, I didn’t know the N-SSA from a bundle of shingles, so instead of the usual N-SSA practice of coating the Minies with a thin layer of Len’s Lube or similar, I filled the base of each round with a gob of non-rancid Crisco shortening. To my surprise, the gun fired the Minies like a prince. However, as a dedicated round-ball shooter, I stuck with patched round balls of .562 caliber for decades.
Fast-forward fifty years: I found myself back at the range, this time with a variety of rounds, all stuffed with a gob of Crisco in the base. I started with the squashed witch’s hat Lyman Minies and a light charge of FFFg, and I was pleased with the outcome. Then I thought, “How will my old standard round—the traditional Lyman Minie with 35 grains of FFFg—perform?” To my amazement, I achieved a very tight group inside two inches.
Today, my son-in-law soars with the eagles on the musket range using this combination. As an aside, I was mostly convinced we were the only skirmishers in the N-SSA employing the Crisco solution—until the 149th. There, to my astonishment, a competitor shooting directly in front of me (using my bayonet as his ramrod perch, no less) loaded each round with a visible gob of Crisco. Target-wise, he was breaking everything in sight.
Before closing, I owe you an explanation. My theory (and it’s just a theory) is that the Crisco gob blasted from behind the bullet provides greater expansion power for the Minie ball than compressed air alone, resulting in better grip. Additionally, the extra lubricant from the Crisco creates a continuous seal that’s reinforced by the blast, increasing compression. Alternate theories are welcome.

Proud D onors to the N -SSA
By Wayne Jordan, Charitable Giving Committee
As we approach the end of another year, many people turn their attention to supporting their favorite charities and nonprofits. If you are in a position to share with worthy causes , I hope that you’ll include the N-SSA on your donation list.
Although the N-SSA is mostly run by volunteers there is still a multitude of expenses that must be covered. Equipment, inventories of target material, general upkeep of facilities, and utilities are some of the many expenses. Capital improvements to make Ft Shenandoah and other ranges a comfortable place for members, families and friends to spend time are always limited by scarce funds. In recent years donations from our members have made a significant difference.
Will You Make a Donation to the N-SSA this Year?
You can fill out the form below and send it in along with a check to the address below. Or you can donate digitally through the N -SSA.org webpage by scanning the QR code below. Please be sure to provide your name and address when donating, and any special instructions regarding how you would like your money used. Usually, our donor s designate the General Fund. If you’d like a preaddressed envelope to send in your check, please watch your mail for our fundraising mailings (one was sent in September, the other in November)
A very good way to avoid paying taxes is to donate appreciated assets (stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, etc.). No taxes will be due on the appreciation , plus you can deduct the total value of the donation on your tax return. The stock market has been hitting all time highs this year. You may be holding investments that will generate large tax liabilities which can be avoided by donating them directly.
You can also make a donation in memory of a person who was once connected to the N -SSA.
If you haven’t taken your RMD from an IRA account yet this year, please consider directing some of those funds to the N -SSA. If you are over 70 ½ you can donate directly from your IRA to charities. The tax savings from doing this can be enormous.
If you work at, or are retired from, a company that matches employee charitable donations, check with the benefits office to see if they’ll match your donations to the N -SSA. Some companies will even make grants to organizations that the ir employees recommend, and a few of our members have taken advantage of those programs.
Some of our members prefer to make donations in small, but frequent, increments. They set up a regular periodic transfer of funds from their bank or brokerage account to the N -SSA account.
The generosity of our members is a reflection of the value that so many of us put on the camaraderie, competition, and historical heritage that the N -SSA supports and preserves.
Thank you all for your support. I can be contacted to discuss donation ideas or strategies at wvjordan@aol.com or 703-407-2445.
DONATE DIGITALLY BY USING OUR NEW QR CODE
We now have another way to make donations.

Cleaning the New Harper ’s Ferry Single-Shot Pistol (Tom Crone’s Scrapers and LA Awesome Cleaning Solution)
Craig Goheen and Carl Kruger, 49th Virginia Volunteer Infantry
BACKGROUND
Gunpowder is the first explosive to be developed. It was probably formulated first during the late Tang Dynasty (9th century). The earliest recorded chemical formula for gunpowder dates to the Song Dynasty (11th century). In Europe, it was first described in 1267 in the Opus Majus by Roger Bacon.
Black powder consists of a mixture of sulfur, carbon (in the form of charcoal), and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). The sulfur and carbon act as fuels while the saltpeter is an oxidizer.
The various European powders all had slightly varying formulae for their powder. In Austria in the mid-19th century, there was a minimum of four different formulations depending on how the powder was to be used. Powder for firearms, cannons, mines, and target shooting all had different rations of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Grain size also varied, and at times different types of wood were specified for charcoal production.
In his book, The Artillerist’s Manual, Colonel John Gibbon describes the various formulations used by the great powers of the day. Differing slightly from France and Prussia, the U.S. used a mixture of 76 parts saltpeter to 14 parts charcoal to 10 parts sulfur. There was also a second approved version using 75/15/10.
Gibbons goes on to describe the process of “combustion” and its byproducts. “The substances resulting from the combustion of gunpowder are nitrogen and carbonic-acid gas . . . sulfuret of potassium which produces the sulfurous smoke, and in part adheres to the sides of the bore.” (Gibbons, pg. 23)
Given this basic understanding of the chemistry of black powder, it becomes apparent that these byproducts, when exposed to ambient humidity, produce caustic acids that are extremely destructive to steel and iron. For this reason, the military authorities of the day published exacting regulations for cleaning and maintenance of firearms and took great care to ensure compliance.
The thorough cleaning and removal of black powder residue are critical to the preservation and performance of our guns. Speak to two skirmishers, and you will discover two different methods of cleaning and maintaining firearms after a match. Different shooters recommend the use of hot water versus cold water to scrub bores, various admixtures of Murphy’s Oil Soap, vinegar, and a myriad of other ingredients.
For this article, we focus on the Pedersoli reproduction Harper’s Ferry single-shot pistol, which the N-SSA recently approved for competition, and some tools to help the process.
(The Pedersoli Harper’s Ferry Single-Shot Pistol in Percussion)
INTRODUCTION
Cleaning this pistol is like cleaning any other muzzleloader. What makes it a difficult and unique challenge is the patented breech. As we began this effort we noted that the Pedersoli reproduction Harper’s Ferry has a breech that is similar but not the same as a patented breech, per the following example:
(Cut Away View of a TC breech)
Before we started testing we spoke with Tom Crone, who had come up with some innovative aids in cleaning black powder guns. To our surprise, Tom had already devised a set of scrapers specifically designed for the Harper’s Ferry pistol.
We procured two of these sets and did some preliminary work with them. Based on that work and a line drawing of the patent breech that we received from Stefano Pedersoli, we went back to Tom and asked him to make us a “modified” inner scraper with an angled tip to match the diagram of the breech, shown below:
This drawing indicates that the patented breech is conical. As a result of our initial research efforts, Tom Crone redesigned the small scraper to be conical and fluted. Initial results with the scraper indicated that the diagram is “not exactly” like the actual production. The closed end of the patented breech is not flat or curved, and the angle of 118 degrees shown on the diagram is smaller than the actual angle of the breech end. After modifying Tom Crone’s fluted scraper of 118 degrees and consulting with him, we’ve concluded that the actual angle is closer to 135 degrees. We experimented with these, and although good, none of them was an exact fit for the end of the breech; our later modification seemed to the best fit.
to Right
We used Tom Crone’s .54 caliber bore scraper – the one he made specifically for the Harper’s Ferry Pistol. This one is about .005” smaller than the .54 caliber Mississippi scraper, as shown below.
Crone’s. 54 Caliber Harper ’s Ferry Scraper)
With that background, we are using two identical Pedersoli Harper ’s Ferry Percussion Single-Shot with Musket Nipple 1/4 x 28 pistols for testing.
As a caveat, we will not try to recommend one cleaning system or solution over another. Instead, we will describe our technique, and more importantly, the two-scraper system developed by Tom Crone used with LA Awesome Cleaning Solution.
Our “testing”, although not scientific, began with firing a pair of matching pistols, then cleaning them with and without Tom’s scrapers, with hot water and soap, available brushes and patches. Then using a bore scope and cleaning Solution.
THE TESTS

patches, we evaluated the cleanliness of the pieces. Following is a representative photo of one of the pistols’ bores after cleaning.
(Bore Prior to Shooting)
Starting with the newly cleaned pistols, we shot three relays of 10 shots each with both pistols, using the same percussion caps and powder. One pistol was intermittently brushed out; the other was not.
We photographed the bores of both pistols after firing the 30 rounds. The following photo is representative of both bores.
(Bore Before Cleaning)
We disassembled both pistols for cleaning. We cleaned each pistol.
The authors each have their own methods of cleaning firearms. For example, one of us used a mop and the other used a .30 caliber brush for the patent breech end. We also differed in the steps and the order of the cleaning process.
CONCLUSIONS
It is very important to properly clean our weapons, and it is not an easy task. Also, the character of the N-SSA makes it difficult to have a singular answer to how we should clean. Without writing a book, we are merely providing the tools and some of our experience to make this task easier. That said, we wish to highlight LA Awesome Cleaning Solution. We don’t think enough people know about it. This product removed fouling better than
anything else we have tried.
The design of the second-generation patent scraper matches the drawings of the patent breech, but the actual breech is different from the drawing.
The best cleaning result was achieved using LA Awesome Cleaning Solution, a .54 caliber brush and a .30 caliber brush, Tom’s modified scraper, Tom’s .54 caliber scraper, a .30 caliber bore mop, and significant elbow grease, per the photo below:
We’d like you to take away from this article the idea that you need to clean your weapons and clean them well. It is not an easy task, but there are talented folks like Tom Crone who are more than willing to help you with the tools if you ask.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We could not have written this article without the help of Stefano Pedersoli, who was always prompt and informative in replying to our requests beyond our expectations.
Tom Crone has become one of our favorite sutlers. He and his good lady are always there to help and do whatever they can. In this project, Tom was quick and happy to fabricate whatever he could for us to try. He made himself available at all times and never made us feel like we were asking too much. The tools he made for us were the same high quality as those he provides to all members of the N-SSA. Thanks, Tom!
And a tip of the hat to Marsha Resch for her editing assistance. P.S. Although we received satisfying results with the techniques and tools used, we are still not 100% satisfied. In the future, we plan to attempt to model the exact shape of the patented breech. We’ll also test a “ Tom Crone #3 – 135-degree patented breech scraper”.

Doc Chambers Memorial Golf Tournament Celebrates 30 Years with Honoring of Bob Klutas
The Doc Chambers Memorial Golf Tournament was founded in 1994 by the late Irwin “Doc” Chambers, a member of the former 10th CVI of the New England Region. Doc organized the first event at the beautiful golf course of Cacapon State Park just 25 minutes north of the Fort in Berkley Springs. After his passing, the N-SSA Skirmishers continued to hold the event for several years, aptly naming it after its founder, Doc.
In 2000, Bob Klutas of the 1st PA Rifles Bucktails took on the role of coordinating the tournament. Under Bob’s leadership, the event grew and flourished for 23 years. Bob put his heart and soul into the tournament to ensure that the event would live on for all of those skirmishers who also have a passion for the game of golf.
In 2023, with participation starting to dwindle due to passing/aging participants and introduction of new skirmishing events, Bob decided to hang up his duties as the coordinator of the event. When I received the note from Bob that the event was to be concluded, I was devastated. When we formed our team, the 63rd NYSV of the Irish Brigade in 2013, I was looking for a way to meet and engage with other skirmishers around the N-SSA. I had heard of the event before but never participated when we were skirmishing with former teams. I found a flyer on a latrine door, reached out to Bob and registered for my first time playing in the Fall of 2013. I was paired with Glenn Rohde, Jamie Kronemeyer and the late Jack Richardson. I instantly found new friends who’ve become integral pieces of my N-SSA experience. If the tournament had this kind of impact on me, then I am sure it’s having that kind of impact on others. Bob agreed to transition the coordinating duties to me as opposed to ending the tournament.
This Fall, we held our 30th Anniversary Tournament and celebrated the milestone by naming our championship trophy after the man who kept Doc’s dream alive for so many year…The Klutas Cup. We unveiled the trophy at our awards ceremony in Memorial Park where Bob gave his standard short and sweet speech about the event and how much it means to those of us who participate. The Fall 2024 Klutas Cup was won by the 149th PVI. In all, we had 7 foursomes participate this year including the 1st PA Bucktails, 2nd VA, 11th NJV, 63rd NYSV, 42nd NY and a new team from the 9th NY Cav.
Skill prizes for Longest Drives (Men, Women and Seniors) included a pound of 3f blackpowder donated by Paul Carges of the 9th NY Cav, 10 lbs of lead donated by Fred’s Lead and 10 lbs of lead donated by Glenn Rohde of the 42nd NY. Each golfer received an engraved ball marker donated by myself and Ed Heilborn of the 63rd NYSV. Our most sought after skill prize was our closest to the pin challenge where David Bowen of the 63rd NYSV won his 2025 National Dues.
As the pictures illustrate, the event is a wonderful time. We would love to see it continue to grow. It has consistently grown by a team or two over the last couple of events. You do not need to have a full foursome to participate. You can register as a single golfer and be paired with a team to have fun. Who knows, you might just make lifelong friendships like I did. All tournament proceeds are donated to the N-SSA. This Fall we donated $300 to the organization from event proceeds. Why not combine your two favorite hobbies of golf and skirmishing while helping to support our beloved N-SSA at the same time? If you have questions, would like to register, want to donate a prize or sponsor the event, please reach out to me. Rich Ryan, 63rd NYSV, rich.j.ryan@gmail.com, (716) 725-2128. Come be part of the next 30 years of the Doc Chambers Memorial Golf Tournament.
