I think the Ferguson pre-dates the Hall by a good bit and was a little more normal in appearance. Read an article a few years back about some guys making new ones, and they were very nice, also really expensive.

Ferguson was a British officer and is credited with passing up a chance to kill G. Washington, but declined the opportunity as unsporting. American rifleman had no such foolish notions holding them back and killed Ferguson at Cowpens, if memory serves.

Edit: It was at King's Mountain, not The Cowpens. So much for memory.🙄
