The lock plate has "TOWER" marked vertically behind the hammer and a large crown over "GR" along with a "crown/V" proof in front of the hammer. The side plate, flat buttplate, trigger guard, forend cap, and ramrod pipes are brass, with "J 65 1 L11" stamped on the buttplate tang. Left rear of barrel has three British proofs with a "crown/JR" stamped on the left stock flat.

Good. The musket has a dark mottled patina with some scattered minor spotting and extensive minor flash pitting. A chip is missing from the blown out muzzle and the sling swivels are absent. The brass has mostly a polished appearance. The stock is very good with some minor dings, scratches, and pressure dents with a couple minor cracks and a missing chip on the forearm. A screw has been added along with a hole through the forearm near the muzzle. Mechanically fine.
