Beschreibung:

This musket is composed of primarily British Brown Bess comments, with the sideplate, wrist escutcheon, and stock of American manufacture. The British barrel is marked on the tang with a crown, on top of breech with British ordnance proofs in center, a crown over "9" above touch hole and "FG" on left side of breech for Farmer and Galton. There is a bayonet lug mounted on top, towards muzzle. The early British military lockplate has had the maker's name and date intentionally removed at the tail. In the center, there is an engraved crown over "GR" and a stamped crown and broad arrow ordnance mark, denoting British government ownership, stamped below the pan. Frizzen spring and frizzen spring screw are modern replacements. The brass buttplate, ramrod ferrules, trigger guard, and nose cap are all from a British Pattern 1756 Brown Bess musket. The sideplate is of the Long Land Pattern style but is of American manufacture, as well as the wrist escutcheon. The crude walnut stock is American and features a relief carved beavertail around the barrel tang, a swell at the ramrod entry ferrule, and relief teardrops behind lock and sideplate. Complete with a period iron ramrod. CONDITION: Barrel retains a brown patina with very good markings. Lock retains a grey patina and remaining markings are very good, lock is in its original flintlock configuration and functions well. Brass retains a mellow patina and a couple of ramrod ferrules have losses at openings from contact with ramrod. Stock has scattered splintering along barrel on both sides and hole below front lock tang from an original mis-drilled lock screw slot. Stock shows scattered marls from use and age with a nice dry surface. A nice Revolutionary War American stocked musket.
