This attractive musket is American stocked in beautiful tiger maple. The barrel, lock, trigger guard, sideplate, two front bands, and altered buttplate are all from a rare French Model 1728 infantry musket. The two-stage barrel has a bayonet lug mounted on top, towards the muzzle. The flat lockplate has beveled edges and a molding at the tail. The tiger maple stock is of early Revolutionary War form and resembles the British style of stocking. Complete with a period iron American-made ramrod. CONDITION: Barrel retains a brown patina. Lock retains a brown patina, is in its original flintlock configuration and functions properly. All furniture retains a pleasing brown patina. Stock has an attractive orange maple hue. A very nice American Revolutionary War musket.
