RARE 1809 DATED 1ST MODEL VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY MUSKET. VA MFG 1ST MODEL NSN 71 Cal. 71. Standard configuration with 42" bbl, matching assembly number "10" found on most parts. This gun closely follows the US Model 1795 with large serpentine cock and excellent Virginia Manufactory marks. These guns are very difficult to find in orig flint configuration and this is a solid example. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good overall. Gun appears orig, complete, with mostly discernible markings as can be seen in photos. Stock is refinished with a couple of discernible crack repairs. But all in all, a very aesthetically pleasing gun with dark, undisturbed metal patina. Mechanically sound with smooth clear bore. 52332-119 JS (3,000-5,000)
