Faint visible marking of cartouche on left side of stock. Estimated that 600 were between 1829-1834, this appears to be a type 3 configuration. This musket has been reconverted with replaced hammer, pan,  frizzen, frizzen spring. Barrel retains a deep added brown finish during the period.  The lock has a deep brown patinated look with sharp and crisp markings.  The stock has been clean in its lifetime with sharp edges and lines.  Overall a very good example of this rare contract musket.
