The lock, with matching internal parts, is a smooth gray and brown. It appears that this musket has been very expertly reconverted to flintlock using an original lock. The remaining furniture is a smooth brown. The stock is very good with issue dents and dings and no cracks or chips. The right side of the butt is marked from the buttplate forward TULLE followed by TULLE followed by a crown over M followed by the French rondel that is unreadable followed by an oval crown over V. The sling swivels and ramrod are present. The action functions correctly. If you collect European or French flintlock muskets, the Model 1822 is a must. Price: $2,375.00 Antique: Yes |
