Approximately 6,416 Model 1795 muskets were manufactured by Harpers Ferry in the year 1816. Late production U.S. Harpers Ferry Model 1795 muskets such as this one implemented changes in the transition leading up to the Model 1812 and Model 1816. The Model 1795 lock is marked with the eagle and shield above "US" at the center and "HARPERS/FERRY/1816" on the tail which has a projecting point. The barrel is of the shorter 42 inch length and has a bayonet stud on top near the muzzle. Brass blade front sight on the rear strap of the upper barrel band. Sling swivels are mounted on the middle band and trigger guard finial. Flint included separately.

Stock is also very good with defined edges, scattered scratches, dents and nicks, a small crack on the left flat ahead of the rear lock screw, a few cracks ahead of the buttplate, and a defined inspection stamp on the left flat.
