- Lot Description
.70 caliber, 44.5" barrel retained by three barrel bands. Bright finish, walnut stock. No visible proof marks on the barrel. Flat pointed lock plate with fenced and bridled iron pan and a flat reinforced cock. Lock plate marked with an American eagle motif. Appears to be original flint, with all internal lock parts assembly numbered "13". The letters "LS" are stamped in the wood behind the triggerguard - possibly a Luther Sage inspection. A typical example of some of the unknown makers producing "1808 Contract" pattern muskets during the Federal era, likely for sale to state or local governments.
Good to very good. Metal with a thickly oxidized brown patina and some scattered surface roughness and pinpricking. Bright metal under the barrel bands. Mechanically functional, dark dirty bore. Stock crisp with bumps, dings and handling marks and some minor wood loss around the breech plug tang and in the upper corner of the reverse butt near the buttplate.Condition
