.69 cal. 42'' barrel with an oxidized bore. The barrel and rear tang are an even mix of silver and brown patina with scattered light oxidation, staining and some pitting in the area of the touch hole and where a nipple cone was once present. The lock has a darker smoky gray patina and the triggerguard, barrel bands and buttplate are dark brown with scattered light oxidation. The breech is marked ''US / LS / (sunken) P'' along with a vertical ''26'' and the rear tang is dated 1832. The lock is marked ''U.S. / (crossed branch and arrow) / ''E. WHITNEY'' in the center and vertical ''NEW / HAVEN / 1832'' at the rear and the buttplate is marked ''U.S.'' on one side of the top screw and has a large ''6'' on the rear side. The walnut stock remains in near excellent condition with the expected light handling marks, tiny cracks at the rear of the lockplate, the left top edge at the rear lock screw and a strong ''A.W.'' in circle inspector cartouche in the left stock flat. The sling swivels are no longer present, an original trumpet-shaped ramrod is in place and the trigger no longer releases the hammer properly. (5A11774-3) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
