.70 caliber. 44.75" barrel. NSN. Bright finish, iron furniture, full-length walnut musket stock with three flat, spring retained barrel bands. Single shot smoothbore muzzleloading flintlock musket with no rear sight, brass blade front sight on the rear strap of the upper barrel band, a socket bayonet lug on top of the barrel, 1.5" from the muzzle, a pair of screw retained bell shaped sling swivels and a button head ramrod. The 6.25" flat beveled lock has a pronounced teat at the rear and is marked with a script US/{Spread Winged Eagle}/SPRINGFIELD below the pan and dated 1811 horizontally at the tail. The lock has an integral, rounded, fenced and bridled iron pan. The frizzen toe is straight and the frizzen spring terminates in a rudimentary diamond shape. The flat beveled cock is reinforced and has a heart shaped cut out with a straight cock's comb. The lock is in its original flint configuration. The touchhole is somewhat oversized but is well placed in the pan, shows some moderate erosion and retains no angle and taper. The breech is stamped with P/{Eagle Head}/V proof marks and a large US. The buttplate tang is dated 1811, matching the lock. A couple of sets of initials are neatly carved in the reverse of the butt. {ANTIQUE}
