Interesting American Revolutionary War era musket with associated American and British parts, nicely striped American walnut stock. The gun measures 56” overall with 39-1/2” barrel of approx. .78 caliber smoothbore. The lock shows English Tower markings and proofs as does the barrel. The triggerguard and buttplate are classic British, with the buttplate showing some light engraving and a very early style. The stocking is veryAmerican with no forend cap, no sideplate, forged iron ferrules. The gun shows a crudely forged ramrod of the American style. The metal surfaces show light to heavy scattered pitting and erosion, heaviest erosionoccurring at the firing areas. There is some newer type rust and remnant of a “24” on the barrel which appears to be a regimental marking. The stock shows an old break at the wrist and is repaired by screws. The stockalso shows some losses around the bottom edge of the lock opening around the pin-holes. Many small dings and mars, but other than the repairs, generally good. The mounts show a deep patina. The lock is in its original
