06f06. Rare North Carolina surcharged
M1816 Flintlock musket ! Original flint and brown as they come, fresh attic find
from a home in eastern Tennessee and totally pure. Very clear N. Carolina
stamping on the barrel near the breech. Musket was manufactured by Pomeroy in
1826 and both lock and barrel exhibit matching production dates. Part of a
contract to supply arms to the states implemented following the War of 1812, and
virtually all of these weapons also saw service in the Confederacy during the
Civil War. This particular weapon was probably abandoned when a more modern
rifled musket was acquired. This old gem has some age wear and stress cracks but
the only things missing are the sling swivels—even the ramrod is original!
