Item Description: Translate description
Originally manufactured in standard flintlock configuration, and dated 1837 on both lock and barrel tang near breech. Altered to percussion in an arsenal style with cone installed in barrel, touch hole area of lock filled in, and installation of new percussion hammer. After alteration, the barrel and stock were professionally cut to a musketoon length. Stock is marked with now faint "P" proofmark near bottom tang and cartouche on left stock flat opposite lock. Right side of stock is marked with the number 73, which could be a rack number, as well as a period carving that possibly reads Virginia, but is largely indecipherable. Left side of stock is marked with later added initials "GWH" in script. CONDITION: Fair, with iron assemblies turned a cleaned gray patina with evidence of heavy use near cone. Stock has large repairs on right side near front toe of lock and on left side near trigger guard. Mechanically fine. Bore is dark. Barrel Length: 28" Caliber/Bore: .69 Smoothbore FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Springfield Model: M1816 Serial Number: NSN
