hi,
as said in my other post on the pocket pistol i was offered an old musket, so i thought i would have it as a project to do up. I got this today it is in a bit of a state as someone many years ago covered it in that old shallack varnish and put it on quite thick, i am going to strip it but saw some numbers on the butt so thought i would take a look at them.
they are on the cheek side of the butt and read X V 11 87 then lower are initials H P R, the 11 are like the roman 2, i thought at first it may be a military musket but there are no markings on the side plate, any thought would be appreciated. It is 54 1/2" long,
Dave.
