We think this started life around 1816 as a Flintlock Musket most likely U. S. made, based on the large lock plate's shape. It was then converted to percussion in the 1830's and may well have seen service for the Confederacy in the Civil War. It saw its final years half stocked for civilian use, most likely on the frontier. It has come from very long term storage and is offered as it came, un restored and uncleaned.
