Hi All,
I have acquired a rather well used musket which may or may not have been used by a Native American. It would appear to have been originally a flintlock which has been 'blacksmith' converted to percussion lock. The original ramrod is missing and a 'blacksmith' forged replacement is in its stead. The tacks are iron and not brass (magnet tested), some of them are missing but you can see where these have been. I know some African muskets were decorated with tacks also it is not one of the recognised trade type muskets. I will let the photographs tell the rest and I look forward to your thoughts. Regards, Norman. |
