This period miniature measures only 8-1/8" overall in length. It is a diminutive and accurate copy of a Napoleonic French or Belgian flintlock Marine musket. The iron barrel is round and the convex lock with reinforced cock even has a brass pan. Lock components do move. The furniture is of standard French 1779 pattern and is brass, barrel bands retained by small iron springs, side plate is also iron. The walnut stock is plain and of accurate form, with a cutout cheekpiece on the left side of the buttstock. Complete with a trumpeted iron ramrod. CONDITION: Very good overall with one minor repair where frizzen was re-attached. A very nice miniature musket. DMG
