Walnut stock is marked “VN”. Metal work on this gun appears to be from a French Model 1763/68 but the stocking work appears to have been done at an American arsenal and probably distributed to the state of New York some time after 1800. Top jaw screw is broken and detached but the top jaw & broken screw accompany this musket. PROVENANCE: Charles Radcliffe Collection. CONDITION: Metal work is in fine condition showing its aged patina and have never been cleaned. The stock likewise is in beautiful condition with no major nicks, scratches or dents with only a 1″ stress crack in front of the butt plate that does not affect the soundness our integrity of the gun. There is also a 3/8″ x 3/16″ wide chip in front of the lock. This is a beautiful example of an American stock musket that was done after the American Revolutionary War and was available to troops during the Federal Period. The musket is complete with what appears to be a very old ramrod that may be original. The top jaw screw is broken in two and the top jaw need to be refitted to the gun. 4-39613 PAS57 (4,000-5,000)
