.76 caliber. 42.5" pinned barrel. NSN. Bright finish brass furniture, hardwood stock. Single shot muzzleloading reconverted flintlock musket assembled from parts. Germanic or Low Countries style flat faceted banana shaped lock is unmarked and reconverted to flint with an added pan, frizzen, cock and external parts. Barrel is engraved DOVGLAS (Douglas) on the top, and while the engraving is old, it may not be contemporary to the manufacture of the barrel. Barrel also of Germanic or Low Countries style with a low 1" long brass blade front sight about 3.5" from the muzzle and the indication that a socket bayonet lug was located about 1" from the muzzle under the barrel, but is now missing. Touchhole does not align well with the pan. Brass components are similarly Low Countries in styling. Parts are assembled into a stretched stock that may be of cherry from the entry pipe back, with the forend a spliced addition of more recent vintage. Metal parts are somewhat ill-fitted to the wood, no side plate is employed and the stock shows some repairs in addition to the spliced forend. It not clear if this is a restoration of an old, period of use American restock of salvaged gun parts, or if the combination of the parts took place in a more recent era. Includes an old iron button head ramrod. {ANTIQUE}
