Armory repaired/rebuilt muskets are described on pages 79-80 of George D. Moller's book "American Military Shoulder Arms Volume II", with this exact musket photographed on page 79. This Springfield Model 1795 musket was rebuilt sometime after the War of 1812 with a shortened 42 inch barrel to conform to the then-current regulation pattern and a replacement low comb stock. The Model 1795 Type I lock is of the c. 1802-1803 style with a faceted flash pan and is marked "SPRINGFIELD" in a horizontal arch at the tail, and at the center of the lock is a script "US" below a shielded eagle looking to it's left. The barrel has "P/eagle" proofmarks at the left of the breech. "1807" date marked on the buttplate tang. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes leather sling and wood tampion. Provenance: The George Moller Collection
