Manufactured circa 1812-1830. This exact musket is described and photographed on pages 250-251 of George D. Moller's book "American Military Shoulder Arms Volume II" in which the book states, "The 38 7/16" barrel of this brass-mounted New England militia musket is stamped 'NA,' 'P,' and New York's ownership mark, 'SNY.' However, it is possible that this barrel was salvaged from a state contract musket and was subsequently used in the assembly of this arm, which is attributed to militia use." Mounted in a full length walnut stock with brass fittings and a checkered wrist. "I&H/MEACHAM/WARRANTED" marked at the center of the sporting style lock. I&H Meacham was based out of Albany, New York. "3" is marked at the left of the breech, on the sideplate, and on the left of the stock wrist. A bayonet lug was originally underneath the barrel towards the muzzle but has been removed at some point. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes socket bayonet and wood tampion. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Very good, smooth surfaces with light gray/brown patina, and sharp markings in the metal. Pleasing aged golden patina on the brass fittings. Stock is fine with defined edges, some light scratches and dents, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Included bayonet is very good with some brown patina and some patches of mild surface oxidation.
