Many Model 1816 muskets were used during the Texas Revolution, various conflicts with Native Americans, the Mexican-American War, and even into the Civil War. This undated example has the early "M.T. WICKHAM" in an arc over "PHILA" lock marking. "S.N.J." marked on top of the barrel ahead of the breech and on the left stock flat. "F", "P" and "US" marked at the breech. "V/GF" marked on the left stock flat. "GLOUCESTER BRIGADE" stamped alongside the trigger guard finial and on the underside of the buttstock. Includes a Watervliet Arsenal leather sling. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Very good with mottled dark brown patina overall and clear markings in the metal. Stock is also very good with defined edges, scattered scratches and handling marks, an absent section behind the flash pan, some chips on both flats, and mostly sharp markings. Mechanically excellent.
