Original flintlock configuration with well centered touch hole that is unmolested and shows good wear and erosion.

Barrel marked "US" on top of breech and P / [Eagle Head] / V at breech. Script "US" cartouche on flat opposite the lock. Lead ID disk set into comb of stock, forward of buttplate tang. Screw retained sling swivels are later replacements. Button head iron rammer about .5" short, missing threads at end.
