No visible lock markings, with partly legible faint "1813" date marking on top of the breech of the barrel, and "S.CT" at the upper left breech of the barrel with some other single letter markings. Shares slight visual similarities with some Whitney contract muskets of the time.

Good as refinished, with brown patina, pitting and wear. Stock is also good as re-oiled, with numerous scattered dents, scratches, scuffs and cracks. Absent ramrod. Requires manual assistance for hammer release, mechanically needs work.
