Cal. 76. NSN. Bbl. 39”. The front of the barrel has a low blade sight, and there are government and arsenal proofs near the breech. The lock is marked with a crowned “GR” in front of the cock and a small crowned broad arrow under the pan. The area behind the cock is stamped “TOWER”. Brass trigger guard, buttplate, rounded side plate, barrel thimbles, entry thimble, and nosecap. Iron ramrod appears original. Stock is marked “BO (broad arrow)” at the right cheek. There is an “RF” stamp at the bottom of the butt and behind the side plate. A large “F” was carved into the stock by a soldier behind the side plate. CONDITION: barrel and lock have a dark brown, ancient patina. The markings on the lock are clear and it holds both full and half cock. Brass parts have a rich, pleasing patina. The stock seems like it has seen some sanding at some point in its life, and there are small cracks in the barrel channel. Poor bore. Truly a good, honest attic condition pattern 1793 musket.
