This early Model 1840 musket started off as a flintlock with a smoothbore, but like many Model 1840s it was converted to percussion and rifled. It may have seen use in both the Mexican-American War and Civil War. It has a bayonet stud on the bottom near the muzzle, brass blade front sight on the front barrel band, proofs and "1841" on the barrel at the breech, "1841/U.S." and "eagle/L. POMEROY" on the lock, and "ER" and "WAT" cartouches on the left flat.

Fine as converted to percussion with mottled gray and brown patina, brighter metal in the protected areas, distinct markings, minor scuffs and dings along the fine, revarnished wood, and a few minor chips. Mechanically excellent.
