Model 1808 Flintlock Musket, manufactured circa 1812 in Sutton, Massachusetts from the lot of 4,270 Springfield Armory pattern muskets manufactured by Elijah and Asa Waters. Waters was one of 19 gunmakers contracted to manufacture the Model 1808. They were contracted to manufacture 5,000 muskets based on the Springfield Armory version (rather than the Harpers Ferry version) in total but fell short of the complete order. The barrel, lock and iron furniture were finished bright. There is a bayonet lug mounted on the underside of the barrel. The lower sling swivel is mounted on a stud ahead of the trigger guard and the trigger guard has pointed finials. The barrel bands are secured by springs behind the bands. Mounted with a full one-piece black walnut stock. This exact musket is featured on page 170 of American Military Shoulder Arms, Vol. 2 by George Moller. It would have been made at the beginning of the War of 1812, a war the young United States fought against Great Britain until 1815. The overall condition is near fine. Strong action. The bore is in good shape and remains clear and smooth. Solid stock (stable crack forward of the lock). “1812” and “SUTTON” are engraved on the lock. Clear cartouche on the left wrist. The initials “TC” are stamped throughout. “US” stamped barrel with view and proof marks. The leather sling is in good shape. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 44-1/2 inches. Caliber: .69 Flintlock Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail!
