Similar muskets in European collections have been dated to c. 1640. This one has an iron buttplate and separate butt extension piece which is unusual. The barrel has a blade front sight and two notch rear sights. The barrel has "O11" or "110" on the right side and traces of other marks on top by the rear sight. The counter plates are floral shaped.

Very good with gray-brown patina, oil staining, and mild pitting on the metal. The stock is also very good for its age and has some small flakes/chips, repaired cracks at the heel and toe, and some minor scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.
