Item Description: Translate description
About .62 cal, 40 3/4'' part round part octagon barrel with nice turned medial at the point of transition and a very good bore showing light oxidation. Though not following the government contract pattern Indian Trade muskets made by Deringer, this is otherwise an attractive piece that has been reconverted to flint utilizing an antique lockplate. The metal surfaces are a pleasant plum-brown patina showing some scattered old oxidation and remnants of old moderate erosion around the touch hole and tang. The barrel flat retains good markings with ''H. DERINGER / PHILA'' and the center of the lockplate is also marked ''H. DERINGER''. The replacement lockplate fits rather shy of the inletting particularly along the rear edge and it is equipped with a bridled roller frizzen. The frizzen and jaw screw appear to be later aged replacements. The barrel is secured by three keys without escutcheons and the brass fittings include dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, triggerguard, buttplate and decorative rear lock screw escutcheon that have toned to a pleasant mild ocher patina. The stock is extensively decorated with the familiar brass brads that show age and consistent patina with the rest of the hardware, there are 53 of them (one missing along point of comb), with 9 of them arranged into a cross on the right side of the buttstock. The lock is not crisp and shifts around when manipulated but does hold at full cock. A simple iron ramrod is present. An interesting piece for over the mantel, with a lot of character. (13C12017-2) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
