Revolutionary War German States Hessian Musket

70 caliber, 46" part octagon barrel with twin ring turns. Convex lock with free standing pan. Full length stock with pin barrel fasteners. Brass mounts with intertwined sideplate. A beautiful Rev War period musket showing an even brown patina, excellent wood and mounts. Maker's mark on the barrel flat. Very likely one of the musket issued to George III "KING'S GERMAN LEGION".

If it's from the KGL it's much later than the Revolutionary War because that unit was not formed until 1803.
