The lock is fine and is marked U.S. over M.T. WICKHAM in an arc in the center and PHILA over 1827 at the tail. The musket is a well-executed reconversion to flintlock. The stock is very good with traces of the inspector's caartoche visible. It has a period repair at the barrel tang and light handling dents and dings but no chips or cracks. The ramrod is a replacement. The bands are good and the U.S. marked buttplate is very good. The rear swivel at the trigger guard is absent.
