Revised: 9/30/2011

Correction: this is a Model 1772 Musket not a Model 1768 Musket as stated in the catalog.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA U.S. SURCHARGED CHARLEVILLE MUSKET. This is a nice example of a complete and orig American imported Model 1768 Musket with scarce angular bayonet with locking ring that fits gun well. This gun conforms to the standard configuration of the Model 1768 the rnd 69 cal. bbl measures 44-1/2″ and has a bayonet stud on bottom. The bbl has “U.S. Surcharge” stamped at breech. There is a correct U.S. Surcharge also found on lock behind hammer and lock is marked “ST.ETINENNE” forward of hammer. All furniture on this gun is iron complete with orig sling swivels and ram rod. Bayonet retains its orig locking ring and screw and gun appears all orig and complete. This pattern Charleville Musket was later adopted as America’s pattern for our first American made contract guns. CONDITION: This gun overall is in good solid complete condition, metal surfaces are gray/bright with scattered rust and pitting especially around breech. The stock is sound and solid with numerous small scraps, scratches and dents. One thin long sliver of wood missing, worn away about 1/8″ wide between front bands on left side of stock. There is a black surface to most of stock, possibly from darkening of oil finish as can be seen in photos. Bayonet is in matching condition being gray/bright with areas of scattered pitting. 4-44161 JS167 (3,000-4,000)
