COMPOSITE EARLY FLINTLOCK MUSKET.

COMPOSITE EARLY FLINTLOCK MUSKET. Cal about 75. Appears to be an early American flintlock assembled from English and American parts. It has a 37-7/8” rnd bbl with square base front sight that could possibly have accepted a socket bayonet. The lockplate is 5-1/2” long, slightly curved with a short teat at the rear. It has light engraving. The furniture is brass and consists of a nosecap, 3 ramrod guides and nosepipe with a long acorn finial. It has brass trigger guard and buttplate with stepped tang. The trigger guard is possibly a military salvaged part as it has provision for a sling swivel. The stock is full length maple with fine tiger striping end to end. There is a very neat very early repair at the wrist made from a piece of sheet brass held with small brass pins. The buttstock is light with a very early English influenced narrow low comb. CONDITION: Iron retains a smooth dark brown patina with an area of pitting around the pan. Stock, with the aforementioned wrist repair, also has a repaired break in the forestock. It has a fine hand rubbed patina. Mechanics need attention. 4-50758 JR37 (2,000-4,000)
