RARE 1770's Revolutionary War American Patriot Assembled Committee of Safety Flintlock Militia Musket
Description:
Outstanding Revolutionary War American Assembled Committee of Safety Flintlock Militia Musket, .71 cal smoothbore, mfg. circa 1775/1776. This is a stunning original example of an American assembled Revolutionary War musket built in the pattern of a British Brown Bess utilizing both French and British components with an American Cherry wood stock. The gun's style, quality, and specifications point to it being one of those built early during the war under order of a patriot Committee of Safety organization to arm their local state militia units. Pinned barrel, probably French in origin, measures 44" long and is fitted with a bayonet lug and sighting notch cut into the tang. There is an illegible marking on the left side of the breech. Early 1770's French Charleville lock filed flat with older 1750's vintage cock and American forged top jaw. The touch hole remains original and unaltered. Buttplate, sideplate, and triggerguard are all 1760's vintage French Charleville parts. All of the iron components have a smooth worn dark mottled silvery/black patina. The four brass ramrod pipes are all taken from a 1750's/1760's vintage British Brown Bess which creates an interesting and unusual visual dynamic seeing both brass and iron fittings used on the same gun. Brown Bess style Cherry stock features a swell at the forearm, beavertail carving around the barrel tang, and round wrist which cuts far back below the comb. It was made without a nosecap or wrist escutcheon. The wood is in excellent condition overall showing rich color with a blackened patina forming within protected areas. One small old chip just ahead of the frizzen, a thin 1 ½" sliver missing along the right edge of the foreram at the muzzle, and a tight 3" crack on the left side of the forearm at the tip. The length of the forearm is all original without any splices or repair. While the old French triggerguard retains it's original sling swivel mount there is no provision made for a forward swivel in typical American fashion. Original forged iron rammer. The action is very firm and crisp with a strong mainspring and functions perfectly. Frizzen securely snaps shut and springs forward. This might just be the finest American musket we have had. The gun's wonderful architecture, originality, and condition would be very difficult to improve upon. A museum grade American Revolutionary War patriot musket ready for display!

The length of the forearm is all original without any splices or repair. While the old French triggerguard retains it's original sling swivel mount there is no provision made for a forward swivel in typical American fashion. Original forged iron rammer. The action is very firm and crisp with a strong mainspring and functions perfectly. Frizzen securely snaps shut and springs forward. This might just be the finest American musket we have had. The gun's wonderful architecture, originality, and condition would be very difficult to improve upon. A museum grade American Revolutionary War patriot musket ready for display! Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique arms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique arms" will also include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique arms. Antique arms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique arms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any antique arm shipped to New Jersey or Ohio must ship to a licensed FFL holder, no exceptions. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. Items containing antique ivory will not be sold or shipped to residents of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, or Washington. Antique muzzleloaders and antiques which fire obsolete cartridges may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, credit card (no additional fees), or bank wire. Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. Items are professionally packed and shipped USPS Priority Mail with insurance coverage for the sale price and signature required for delivery. Items valued over $5,000.00 are shipped Registered Mail. Buyer pays actual shipping costs with no added charge for packing materials or handling. We describe items accurately and thoroughly. If an item has been misrepresented or significant defect overlooked you may return it for a full refund (minus return shipping costs) within 3 days of having received it. This timeframe begins once the package is delivered by the carrier. Buyer's remorse or concerns over issues noted in the description and/or pictures is not a valid excuse for return. Returned items must be received in the same condition as originally shipped - cleaning, disassembly, alteration, or damage of any kind will void inspection privileges. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account and any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with Jeremiah Johnson Trading. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All antique arms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm.
