Antique STATE MILITIA US Model 1816 Flintlock Musket with Asa Waters Lock
EARLY AMERICAN Militia Musket
Here we present an antique Model 1816 Musket, made circa the 1820s. This period of United States history saw quite a small national standing army and hosts of statewide militias. These were meant for repelling foreign invasion, creating a barrier between states and the federal government, defending towns from attack and uprisings from Native Americans, slaves, and bandits, among other policing duties. Militias were sometimes longstanding, prestigious and influential organizations. At other times they were ad hoc and reactive to the given circumstances. There was a great distrust of a federally controlled militia system or a large standing army in the early days of the Republic.
This piece was converted to percussion before or around the time of the American Civil War and then reconverted, using this lock by Asa Waters of Millbury, Massachusetts.
The action does not function. (The trigger does not release the hammer when pulled). Good bore. “1827” dated barrel. The stock is solid with a few period repairs around the reconverted lock. “A. WATERS” is engraved on the lock.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 42-1/8 inches in length.
Caliber: .69 Flintlock
