American Revolutionary War Fusel
Barrel appears to have two Board of Ordnance marks...
Like most American made long arms of the period this weapon is made from locally manufactured parts and parts scavenged off of other pieces. The barrel appears to have two Board of Ordnance marks. The brass trigger guard omits the lower screw used by the English and has no hole for the rear sling and the trigger has the curl often found on American made pieces. The side plate is the two screw rounded form. The stock is made of walnut. The banana lock is similar to other American made locks of the period. It cocks, but does not fire.
