.69 caliber, 42" barrel, no S/N. Bright finish, smooth walnut stock with three flat, spring retained barrel bands. Lock with {spread-winged eagle} / US under pan and marked SPRING/FIELD/1842 at tail of lock. Lock is a very high quality re-conversion to flint using an original fenced brass pan with inspection and mating marks which do not match the balance of the lock. Breech plug tang dated 1842 as well. Breech with usual V/P/{eagle head} proof marks. Barrel appears reconverted as well, with a touchhole that is slightly low and forward of center. No cartouches present. Retains both sling swivels. Ramrod is an old replacement trumpet head pattern that is only 39.5" in length with good threads. Condition: Good. Barrel with dull gray patina and some oxizded discoloration as well as additional discoloration that appears to be the result of old, dried oil. Markings in metal remain legible, no markings in wood. Reconverted flint lock mechanism functional, bore moderately oxidized with some pitting. Stock with wear, lightly sanded, rounded edges and scattered surface marks and mars.
