Pomeroy manufactured around 7,000 of these muskets in 1840-1846. This example has standard markings and features with an "1844" dated barrel tang and lock. Like the Model 1842 muskets, almost all of these Model 1840s were converted to percussion and rifled, with this particular example still in it's original flintlock smoothbore configuration. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes US socket bayonet, leather sling, and wood tampion. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Very good, with scattered light to mild pitting on the mostly bright surfaces, and mostly sharp markings. Stock is also very good with scattered scratches, dents, and chips, and a hairline crack on either side ahead of the middle of the buttplate. Mechanically excellent. Included bayonet is very fine with some patches of light pitting and sharp edges. A fine example of an otherwise scarce unaltered Model 1840 flintlock musket!
