U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket by Harpers Ferry
.69 cal., 42'' barrel with an oxidized bore. The metal surfaces of this Type I have toned to a light brown patina with gray undertones, scattered pitting and oxidation. The barrel shows ''(eaglehead) / P'' below an undecipherable mark along the left radius and a small ''US'' on the right radius on the right and a tang date of 1831. The lock is marked with a Federal eagle above ''US'' in the front of the cock and vertical ''HARPERS / FERRY / 1831'' at the rear and the heel of the buttplate is marked ''US'', the top half of the eagle has been lost to time. The walnut stock remains in about very good condition with the expected light dents and handling marks, patches of darkening along the left top edge of the forend and along the buttplate. There are small cracks at the rear of the lockplate and sideplate, the edges of the buttplate and a longer crack along the side of the comb, there no visible inspector proofs or other stock markings. The sling swivels are intact, what appears to be a proper trumpet shaped ramrod is present and the lock seems to function well mechanically. A Type I musket having a nice antique appearance making for a superb wall display. (5A11666-17) {ANTIQUE} [Casey Collection] (800/1200)
