This musket is pictured and discussed on pages 226-230 of "American Military Shoulder Arms, Volume 1: Colonial and Revolutionary War Arms" by George Moller and is noted as manufactured following the lock changes of 1777-1778. The front sight doubles as the stud for the included socket bayonet, and the barrel has Ordnance proofs on top at the breech The lock has a "crown/broad arrow" mark under the pan, the Georgian cipher at the center, "TOWER" on the tail, and "WG" and another "crown" mark on the inside of the plate. The furniture is all brass, and the wrist escutcheon is inscribed with what appears to be "TJ/60." The stock has U.S. buttons inlaid into the sides of the butt and "GDM" (George D. Moller) lightly stamped by the toe. It is equipped with a black leather sling. Provenance: The George Moller Collection
