THIS IS AN ORIGINAL GERMANIC 70 CALIBER SMOOTHBORE FLINTLOCK MUSKET.  IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HESSIAN BUT WE'RE NOT SURE OTHER THAN IT HAS GERMANIC DETAILS.  THE OVERALL LENGTH IS 52 1/2" WITH A 37 1/4" BARREL AND A 13 3/8" TRIGGER PULL.  THE WEIGHT IS 8.6 LBS.  THE RAMROD APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL BUT IS SLIGHTLY SHORT AT 34" .   THE MUSKET INCLUDES A BAYONET WHICH FITS BUT WE'RE NOT SURE IF IT GOES WITH THE MUSKET.  THE BORE IS DARK AND PITTED.  THE WOOD UNDER THE TOP BAND NEEDS REPAIRED FOR A PROPER FIT.  THE BARREL APPEARS TO BE FULL LENGTH AND NOT SHORTENED. THE LOCK MECHANICS ARE FUNCTIONAL BUT NEED SOME CLEANING.  ADDITIONAL PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
