- Lot Description
.69 caliber, 42" barrel, brown finish, walnut stock, three barrel bands. Original flint lock marked W.L. EVANS / EAGLE / V. FORGE forward of the hammer and 1830 / US vertically at the tail of the lock. Matching 1830 date on breech plug tang. Breech inspected LS US over a sunken P proof, with a matching LS (Luther Sage) cartouche on the counterpane. Technically a Model 1828, the final evolution of the M1816 musket, this one was produced during the National Armory Brown period (c1822-1832) and the barrel and furniture are all finished in that manner. Original flint configuration 1816 pattern muskets with period applied brown finish are extremely scarce, as most were altered to percussion during the 1840s-50s and were subsequently struck bright with the brown removed.
Fine. Retains much of the period applied brown finish, with scuffing, wear, fading and loss. Some patches of surface oxidation, minor roughness and light pitting are present as well, particularly on some of the furniture. Mechanically functional, lock in original flint configuration. Barrel with dirty bore. Stock very good, with numerous bumps, dings, mars, scuffs and some fairly deep scrapes on the reverse at the lower wrist.Condition
