Lock internally marked "G.ENGLES". Lock markings clear and discernible "VIRGINIA / MANUFACTORY" forward of cock and at tail "RICHMOND / 1810". This is a fine example of rarely seen 44" musket in orig configuration. PROVENANCE: Collection C. Meade Paterson; The collection Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Very good overall. Gun appears orig with exception of rear lock screw which appears to be a period replacement as does top jaw screw. Markings and inspectors all discernible, including inspectors stamps in stock and the additional "1810" date on rear band. Stock is especially nice and un-molested. Hammer sits awkwardly on sear with an especially powerful spring, mechanically functional with clear smooth bore. 52332-120 JS (4,000-6,000)
