ASSEMBLED FLINTLOCK MUSKET. Cal about 75. Probably an American made parts gun, a composite of British and American parts. The bbl and lock are British Brown Bess while the stock appears to be American militia. It has a 41-3/4” bbl with small square base front sight, 3 homemade brass bands with iron keepers, and a homemade sideplate, trigger guard, and buttplate all in brass. The stock is tiger striped walnut and likely American. The top of the bbl appears to have an old unit marking “93”. The middle band and the trigger guard have holes for sling wires.
