.66 caliber. 35.25" pinned round barrel. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass furniture, European hardwood stock. Single shot muzzleloading reconverted flint trade musket. Reconverted English commercial lock is marked WARRANTED below the pan. All external flint parts are replaced. No external proof marks. Brass buttplate, triggerguard, nose cap, and ramrod pipes, as well as two crudely inlet lock screw escutcheons. Gun appears to be a late 19th century trade gun that was decorated with brass tacks in the form of a Native American used gun, but the square shank brass tacks appear to have been added sometime in the last 40 to 50 years rather than being contemporary to the period of use of the gun. Lock may be a replacement as it fits poorly in the mortise and extra wood has been relieved in the mortise to allow the lock to fit flush. Includes a wooden ramrod of more recent vintage. A neat looking gun with the appearance of an "Indian trade gun" without the associated price.
Good. Metal moderately oxidized with some pitting and scattered surface roughness. Reconverted to flint. Lock mechanically functional, bore fair, heavily oxidized and pitted. Stock moderately worn with a repair at the upper rear of the lock mortise, scattered bumps, dings and aura and a couple of smaller grain cracks.
