Approximately 5,340 of these muskets were manufactured by Harpers Ferry in the year 1815. The lock plate is marked with "HARPERS/FERRY/1815" vertically at the rear and with the eagle and shield motif at the center. "OHIO" is marked ahead of the proofs marked at the left of the breech. The musket features a bayonet lug on top of the barrel towards the muzzle, a brass blade front sight on the rear strap of the front barrel band, sling swivels on the middle band and trigger guard finial, a trumpet head ramrod, and a "US" marked socket bayonet.

Very good "fresh out of the attic" appearance with deep brown patina and mild oxidation and pitting on the metal under a coat of varnish, low vent, moderate overall wear, some chips and cracks in the stock, and worn but mostly legible markings. Mechanically fine.
