Manufactured by Eli Whitney in New Haven, Connecticut from 1801 to 1809 for Federal use. Fit with a 42 - 3/4" .69 caliber tapered round barrel marked at breech with interlocking "CP" inspector proof for James Carrington. Type III flat lock plate with beveled edges marked in center with Federal eagle over "NEW HAVEN" and near tail in a vertical arc "U. STATES". Stocked in American walnut, branded "MARYLAND" ahead of the lock. Iron mounts are Charleville styled, similar to those found on M1795 muskets. Complete with an iron ramrod. CONDITION: Very good overall. Iron components exhibit a pleasing aged brown patina. Lock appears to remain in its original flint configuration but is a possible replacement, showing considerably more cleaned oxidation and faint markings. Stock has an overall dark appearance displaying period wear, with Maryland brand still largely legible, some burn out near the lock, and minor chipping. Action requires attention. BAS
