.60 cal, 10'' octagon barrel with a moderately oxidized bore. This pistol has been nicely reconverted to flint, the barrel and lockplate retaining about 90% of an older restored plum-brown finish with some sparsely scattered small areas of cleaned light pitting. The barrel flat shows a pair of impressed ''(Crown) / (Crossed Scepters) proof marks and the fullered cruciform bayonet measures 7 1/4''. The lockplate shows maker's name in script and it features a bridled waterproof pan, the cock with a small crack forming at the neck. The pistol is equipped with brass fittings including thimble, tailpipe, triggerguard with acorn finial and solid sideplate which have toned to a slightly pale ocher patina. The sideplate is neatly engraved with the name ''M. Wood'' in script. The smooth walnut stock with flat-sided grip remains in very good plus condition showing a little older added varnish, a few darkened areas and old dings, the left side with a small crack and small moderate abrasion near the sideplate. The edges and stock fit to the hardware remain quite good and a horn-tipped hickory ramrod is present. The bayonet assembly locks up well and the lock is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. A very good example in a desirable configuration with its distinctive bayonet.
