Description
American Revolution
"JOHN WALKER" over "WARRANTED" Revolutionary War Military Officer's Fusil / Militia Musket Marked Lock
c. 1774-1782 Revolutionary War Period, American or British Use Military Officer's Flintlock Fusil / Militia Musket, Very Good.
This classic Revolutionary War Period Use, British or American Military Officers Fusil or Militia Musket has a 40.5", .69 caliber smooth-bore steel barrel with top mounted bayonet lug. There are no visible proof marks on the breech. All brass furniture is of a British Military 2nd Model Short Land Pattern Brown Bess Musket but in slightly smaller dimensions. This Musket is in its original Flintlock configuration. Its original convex lock was replaced during the period of use, with a flat lock marked "JOHN WALKER" over "WARRANTED". It is very possible that this Musket was re-stocked and assembled in the American colonies since there is no brass nose cap. The stock is solid and retains the original varnish with a contemporary period modified comb. There are a few expected nicks, dings, and scratches from years of actual military service and is complete with a correct steel button head ram rod.
Note: There are several "John Walkers" we located that are listed. Therefore, it is possible that this current "JOHN WALKER" may be:
John Walker, Rockridge County, Virginia, active: c. 1794-1796.
John Walker, Lancaster Borough, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, active: c. 1802-1807.
John Walker, Darlington, Great Britain, active: c. 1826-1828.
