They had received many favorable reports of European armies adopting the pinfire system so in 1857 and 1858 a few tests were performed on various calibers of pinfire revolvers, all of which received very favorable reviews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">September 28, 1861 marked the entrance of pinfire arms in the American Civil War. On this date 52 Lefaucheux revolvers with ammunition were purchased from a New York gun dealer, Hermann Boker &amp; Co. A month later the Army\u2019s purchasing agent, Colonel George Lee Schuyler, purchased 10,000 Lefaucheux Model 1854 revolvers directly from Eugene Lefaucheux\u2019s company in France. Another 2281 revolvers were acquired through small purchases from various military suppliers. Colonel Schuyler also brought back at least 200,000 pinfire cartridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsp-read-more\"><a title=\"Christian Sharps Pinfire Cartridges\" class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/fr\/christian-sharps-pinfire-cartridges\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/div><\/div><!-- wp-show-posts-inner --><div class=\"wpsp-clear\"><\/div><\/article><article class=\" wp-show-posts-single wpsp-clearfix post-6620 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-ammunition category-united-states tag-united-states-pinfire\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" itemscope><div class=\"wp-show-posts-inner\" style=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-title\" itemprop=\"headline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/fr\/c-d-leet-company-pinfire-cartridges\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">C.

Because of the delays, the Frankford Arsenal received permission on February 20, 1862 to buy 200,000 pinfire cartridges with the higher powder quantity \u201cequal to those of Colts army revolvers\u201d from a different manufacturer. So on February 28th, Captain Crispin contacted C. D. Leet to order 250,000 pinfire cartridges. This was actually the very first order, for any kind of cartridge, that C. D. Leet received from the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C. D. Leet delivered the first 50,000 cartridges on April 14th and received a payment of $856.25 for them on April 30th. They deliver another 88,000 in the beginning of May and the rest of the first order on May 16th. On May 3rd, 200,000 more were ordered which were all delivered on June 17th. The final order of pinfire cartridges from any manufacturer was Dec 10, 1863 for 76,000 from C. D. Leet which were delivered on December 30th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/box1-scaled.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"573\" width=\"800\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/box1.jpg?resize=800%2C573&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"C.

D. Leet was the only manufacturer who seemed to have had no quality issues with the cartridges they delivered. You will notice that the design of the cartridge is a little different than Christian Sharp\u2019s version. Leet\u2019s cartridge contains a lead plate at the base of the case rather than having the case itself be reinforced. The next manufacturer we will look at uses the same technique as well. This had to have been easier and more efficient than Sharp\u2019s method and&nbsp;is probably why there were much less issues manufacturing them to an acceptable standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsp-read-more\"><a title=\"C.

Many other articles and books cover his business relationships in much more detail than I will go into. This article will only take a look at the time periods where he was making pinfire cartridges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">In the early 1860s Ethan Allen filed for a patent on what would become known as his lipfire cartridge. His patent was initially denied because examiner thought they were too similar to the pinfire cartridges; specifically, the ones described in Eugene Lefaucheux\u2019s 1854 revolver patent filed in England by patent attorney John Henry Johnson. Allen responded that the pinfire cartridge was well-known in the United States and that his lipfire cartridge was an improvement in many ways such as being gastight, waterproof, and less dangerous. He mentioned the dangers of unintentional detonations of pinfire cartridges when dropping them. The patent office agreed with his remarks and noted that other than the fact that they were both cartridges there were practically no other similarities. Even though Allen believed his lipfire cartridges were superior to pinfire cartridges he realized that there was still money to be made from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsp-read-more\"><a title=\"Allen &amp; Wheelock Pinfire Cartridges\" class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/fr\/allen-wheelock-pinfire-cartridges\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/div><\/div><!-- wp-show-posts-inner --><div class=\"wpsp-clear\"><\/div><\/article><article class=\" wp-show-posts-single wpsp-clearfix post-6642 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-ammunition category-united-states tag-united-states-pinfire\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" itemscope><div class=\"wp-show-posts-inner\" style=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-title\" itemprop=\"headline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/fr\/excavated-pinfire-guns-and-cartridges-from-the-american-civil-war\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Excavated Pinfire Guns and Cartridges from the American Civil War<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/header><!-- .entry-header -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-content\" itemprop=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated.jpg?resize=800%2C630&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Excavated 12mm pinfire revolver recovered from the sand in Beaufort, South Carolina\" class=\"wp-image-7757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C807&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C236&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C605&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1210&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1614&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C315&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C473&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/excavated-scaled.jpg?w=2400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Excavated 12mm pinfire revolver recovered from the sand in Beaufort, South Carolina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few posts we have taken a look at the three American companies that manufactured pinfire cartridges for use in the American Civil War. Between <a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/allen-wheelock-pinfire-cartridges\/\">Allen &amp; Wheelock<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/christian-sharps-pinfire-cartridges\/\">Christian Sharps<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/c-d-leet-company-pinfire-cartridges\/\">C.D. Leet<\/a> they manufactured a total of 1,572,000 pinfire cartridges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However there is no known documentation on which manufacturers we imported additional cartridges from. We know that the Union Army purchased at least 200,000 cartridges with the large order of Lefaucheux revolvers from France. We know some of the smaller purchases also came with cartridges. We also know that the Confederate States Army had pinfire cartridges stored in their arsenals and used pinfire revolvers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I figured the only way to answer this question was to acquire the actual cartridges they used. And that is exactly what this article is going to focus on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Selma Arsenal Inventory\" class=\"wp-image-6643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/selma-pinfire.jpg?w=1424&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1424w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 13, 1864 an arsenal inspection of the Selma Arsenal showed that the Confederate States Army had 52,800 pinfire cartridges in stock.

Schubarth who resided at 6 North Main Street, Providence, RI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole idea of the cartridge and rifle is based on a modification and improvement of Gallager &amp; Gladding\u2019s cartridge and rifle that was created a couple years prior. It is an inside-primed pinfire that was made to be easily reloadable with the common Mini\u00e9 bullets and percussion caps. Schubarth\u2019s improvement also made it gas-tight and waterproof by dipping the cartridge in melted tallow after inserting the bullet. The design also called for a small cork wad to be placed between the bullet and the powder to clean the barrel on each shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/58-schubarth-cartridge-and-the-improved-breech-loading-rifle-article-from-the-scientific-american-august-31-1861\/\">Schubarth\u2019s interview with <em>The Scientific American<\/em><\/a> he described a rimfire variation of this cartridge by stating that \u201c<em>for army use a ridge may be formed entirely around the cartridge and filled with fulminating powder, in place of the wire, and cap, so that the cartridge may be inserted in any position. But for sporting it is more economical to adopt the arrangement represented, as the same case may be refilled and used many times.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I do not have ballistic information on the cartridge, in 1861 Schubarth said that \u201c<em>the powder is fired in the middle of the charge thus causing a rapid combustion<\/em> [&#8230;] <em>that causes so great force be generated that 60 grains of powder has driven a bullet through 15 one-inch boards at a distance of one hundred yards<\/em>\u201d so it sounds like a fairly powerful cartridge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see and read this whole Scientific American article here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-aaron-newcomer wp-block-embed-aaron-newcomer\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"7nF7XUIvTr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/58-schubarth-cartridge-and-the-improved-breech-loading-rifle-article-from-the-scientific-american-august-31-1861\/\">.58 Schubarth Cartridge; and the Improved Breech-loading Rifle Article from The Scientific American, August 31, 1861<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;.58 Schubarth Cartridge; and the Improved Breech-loading Rifle Article from The Scientific American, August 31, 1861&#8221; &#8212; Aaron Newcomer\" src=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/58-schubarth-cartridge-and-the-improved-breech-loading-rifle-article-from-the-scientific-american-august-31-1861\/embed\/#?secret=7nF7XUIvTr\" data-secret=\"7nF7XUIvTr\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The example in my collection was once owned by the well-known author and ammunition researcher, Colonel Berkeley R.

companies who loaded pinfire cartridges. <strong>Von Lengerke &amp; Detmold<\/strong> was a well-respected New York dealer of fine European-made sporting guns and fishing tackle. They were founded in 1882 and were sold to Abercrombie &amp; Fitch in 1928. They had these pinfire shells custom made by Kynoch &amp; Co. of Birmingham, United Kingdom, and then loaded them in the United States. They also sold their custom shells as new-primed empties<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/vld-scaled.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/vld.jpg?fit=544%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6693\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">The firm of <strong>A. G. Genez<\/strong> was a manufacturer of high quality double barrel shotguns. They also made conversions on guns from earlier types of detonation forms, such as pinfire or percussion, to newer formats, such as centerfire. They also loaded and sold shotshells for their manufactured or converted breech-loading shotguns. The company was established by August G. Genez and spent most of its history at 9 Chambers Street. Genez  operated there until November of 1880 when it was advertised as succeeded by Vincent Bissig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A much more detailed article on <a href=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/august-g-genez-a-practical-gunmaker\/\">A.

William Tibbals was the partner in the company, Crittenden &amp; Tibbals, who supplied mostof the rimfire ammunition during the American Civil War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of what made Crittenden &amp; Tibbals so successful was their early relationship with firearms manufacturers such as Smith &amp; Wesson. Crittenden &amp; Tibbals made some of the earliest rimfire cartridges for Smith &amp; Wesson, Bacon, Spencer and others. I am sure that within their relationship with Smith &amp; Wesson they were well aware with the issues of many people trying to circumvent or infringe on the <a href=\"https:\/\/worldwide.espacenet.com\/patent\/search\/family\/002072983\/publication\/US12648A?q=pn%3DUS12648A\">Rollin White patent<\/a> that Smith &amp; Wesson had an exclusive license to use; especially since some of their main customers were some of the infringing companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rollin White patent was actually a fairly ridiculous pistol design that would have unlikely ever been made. However, there was one interesting feature about it that Daniel B. Wesson was interested in; the concept of a revolver with a bored-through cylinder which allowed metallic cartridges to be inserted from the back. This concept already existed with pinfire revolvers in Europe but it was the first time the concept was patented in the United States. So from 1855, through the next 17 years, anyone who wanted to make a revolver that loaded from the back had to go through Smith &amp; Wesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time period there were a few notable designs that effectively evaded this patent such as the cupfire, teatfire and thuer cartridges. The revolvers that used these were designed to be loaded from the front of the cylinder and have a back that was not bored all the way through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.53603879132028%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US55743-2-673x1024-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US55743-2-673x1024-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=673&#038;ssl=1 673w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1024\" data-id=\"7008\" data-link=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/?attachment_id=7008\" data-url=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US55743-2-673x1024-1.jpg\" data-width=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/US55743-2-673x1024-1.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.46396120867972%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1800&#038;ssl=1 1800w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=2000&#038;ssl=1 2000w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2500\" data-id=\"7009\" data-link=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/?attachment_id=7009\" data-url=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg\" data-width=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_1-1.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1800&#038;ssl=1 1800w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=2000&#038;ssl=1 2000w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2500\" data-id=\"7010\" data-link=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/?attachment_id=7010\" data-url=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg\" data-width=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_2.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1800&#038;ssl=1 1800w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=2000&#038;ssl=1 2000w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2500\" data-id=\"7011\" data-link=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/?attachment_id=7011\" data-url=\"https:\/\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg\" data-width=\"2500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aaronnewcomer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3908333_4.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsp-read-more\"><a title=\"W.
