For the United States Bicentennial (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆) anniversary in 1976, Chase Manhattan allowed the pistols to be removed and loaned to the U.S. Bicentennial Society of Richmond. A subsequent article in the Smithsonian magazine claimed that close examination of the pistols had revealed a secret hair trigger:"Pistols shed light on famed duel" (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆) (from the Smithsonian magazine; November 1976). However, for the preceding twenty years English duelling pistols had been customarily fitted with hair triggers (known as set triggers). Pistols made by Robert Wogdon were no exception. They cannot therefore be said to have had 'secret' hair triggers: "The British Duelling Pistol"; John Atkinson, Arms and Armour Press; 1978.
