This German Jaeger rifle is of the style known to have been issued to the Kingdom of Prussia during the Napoleonic Wars. Features eight-groove rifling, a right side mounted lock bar for a sword bayonet, dovetail mounted brass blade front sight, a V notch rear sight with two flip-up leafs, double-set triggers, and brass furniture. A crown above "Potsdam/SS" marked at the center of the lock. A “crown/FW" above what appears to be an "W" is marked at the top left of the breech end of the barrel, and a triangular mark is on the top flat at the breech. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes a leather sling, an incorrect socket bayonet, tools and an extra flint in the patchbox. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Good as reconverted to flintlock configuration, exhibiting half of an old refinished blue finish on the barrel with scattered brown patina and patches of moderate pitting, some flaking at the muzzle, and a repaired touch hole. Stock is good as lightly sanded and re-oiled with some scattered light scratches, a crack ahead of the rear lock screw, some scattered insect holes on the buttstock, some chips around the patchbox door, and some nails tacked into the right of the buttstock. Mechanically needs adjustment, set trigger will not function properly. Included socket bayonet is fair with mild pitting.
