Description:
Rare WAR of 1812 Antique R&C LEONARD US Model 1808 FLINTLOCK Musket 1811 69
1 of only 5,000 Made; w/ SOCKET BAYONET
Here we present an antique R&C Leonard Contract Model 1808 Flintlock Musket, manufactured circa 1811 in Canton, Massachusetts. R&C Leonard was one of 19 gunmakers contracted by the U.S. government to manufacture the Model 1808 Musket. Leonard manufactured approximately 5,000 Harpers Ferry Pattern Model 1808 Contract Muskets.
The War of 1812 was a conflict lasting about three years that was fought between the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The conflict began when the United States declared war in June of 1812 and ended in a restoration of the pre-war status quo when a peace treaty agreed to earlier was ratified by the United States in February 1815. Its eventual consequences included the establishment of a separate Canadian state and an end of hopes for an independent American Indian confederation in the North West opening the way for the western expansion of the US.
The lock is marked “R&C LEONARD” below the eagle and “CANTON, MA/1811” located in front of the hammer. The lower sling swivel is mounted on a stud ahead of the trigger guard. The barrel bands are secured by springs behind the bands. Mounted with a full one-piece black walnut stock with the distinctive Harpers Ferry high comb and iron buttplate.
The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent and strong and remains in its original flintlock. The smooth bore is in good shape for its age. Clear inspection markings on the left side of the barrel. The stock is solid with visible cartouche remnants on the left stock flat. Markings are legible. “1811” dated lock. The bayonet is in good condition. A fantastic piece of American history from the War of 1812!
