RARE Estate Find Whitney Pre-1812 .69 Cal. Flintlock Musket-Restored
Offered here for sale is a superb opportunity for the collector/restore to acquire a very scarce collectible U.S. musket. Found in an estate in New Haven, Connecticut this early flintlock musket is a “pre-1812” 2nd model Whitney musket with lockplate adorned with the simple “N.Haven” (Whitney banner). The .69 caliber musket was all original and complete save for its lack of flintlock hammer. The musket has NOT been converted and needed only an original flintlock hammer to complete. We have been unable to find an appropriate original flint hammer but had decided to order a reproduction part and ofefr the musket for sale to the buyer who wishes an attarctive display item and/or MORESO should the buyer have an original hammer this becomes an excellent and highly valuable collectible. The musket has a couple of cracks in butt which can be attended to but are of the period and can be displayed “as is”. The wood otherwise is sound and the barrel has a smooth greyish patina. The top of the wrist has a circular marking which may have indicated a unit association or may have been an old hickory peg insert to strengthen the stock. There is no evidence of any break or split. The lockplate is excellent with sharp markings.
The rifle displays very well as with the reproduction hammer darkened as much as possible to attempt to match the original patina yet there is a difference. Fine opprtunity for the restorer but an attarctive piece as is to hang over the mantlepiece.
