This pattern of musket is pictured and discussed in "American Military Shoulder Arms, Volume I: Colonial and Revolutionary War Arms" by George Moller on pages 385-388 where they are identified as "Dutch Type II muskets". Muskets of this pattern are noted as possibly part of the 18,000 muskets purchased by Great Britain in Holland in 1741. He noted previously that some of these muskets may have been shipped to the American colonies during the French & Indian War. Thus, this musket may have seen use in the French & Indian War and American Revolution as well as subsequent conflicts. It has a bayonet lug on the bottom of the barrel, a brass blade front sight, a "wedding band" ahead of the breech section, "C: 49." on top of the barrel at the breech, a flat lock plate with beveled edges and "banana" profile, non-bridled frizzen, no lock markings, and brass furniture.

Good as reconverted to flintlock with artificial gray and brown patina on the lock and barrel breech, some mild pitting mainly at the breech and lock, re-faced frizzen, repaired cock, attractively aged patina on the brass mounts, and moderate wear. The refinished stock has repairs in the forend, a few chips, and moderate scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.
