These muskets were widely used by both the French and American troops during the American Revolution. Many French parts were also imported and used to assemble muskets. The smoothbore barrel on this musket has a blade front sight and measures closer to .75 caliber. The lock is marked "Charleville" at center. The furniture is iron. The stock has a large "MC" carved on the right side. A brass plaque is included indicating the musket was presented to Roy Rogers and Dale Evans by the National Liberty Corporation of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, on June 20, 1977. The duo married in 1947 and were featured in many films together and were two of 20th century America's most famous stars.
