Manufactured c. 1760s-1770s. Partly legible "DUBLIN/CASTLE" marked vertically at the tail of the lock with a crown royal cypher above "GR" at the center, upper left breech of the barrel marked with sunken oval London proofs around what appears to be a "*/RW" maker marking of Richard Wilson, "I/36" inscribed on the wrist plate, likely for the 36th man of I company, and "I7th Regt/Ist Bn" inscribed on top of the butt, likely the 17th Regiment of Foot.

Good as refinished, with brown patina, pitting and wear. Stock is also good as sanded and re-oiled, with scattered dents, scratches, cracks and chips. Absent ramrod. Mechanically fine.
