1815 Dutch Musket

[twines]

I am looking at an 1815 Dutch Musket Type II. It started life as a flint and has been trough several rebuilds, ending up as rifled percussion .69 cal.. It is loaded with tons of marks and an absoulutely wonderful old repair to the stock, sort of a master wood workers duffel cut. Most of what I know is contained in the photo album. I was told that you can tell the military history of 4 countries from the marks on this gun. Look over the pics and add your thoughts.
Thanks

Seems like yours is identical to what they have, including the rifling. The duffel cut under the band might be GI bringing it home after WW2. Neat piece. Don't know about it's Civil War usage. Just because they might have been purchased by the North or South doesn't mean it actually arrived on our shores or was used in the war. But I say the same thing about Enfields and Lorenzes. Not everyone was used here. These countries sold their obsolete arms all over the world.

Agreed it is identical save the marks. The CW usage is questionable. Who knows? Mixed expert responses, The truth on that on as I know it is that europe dumped as many obsolete arms as possible. Thanks for the response.

Oh, I forgot to mention, in posting all over the place I have one plausible response on the repair. That was this type of repair was typical of Dutch Smiths in the day. I have examined it closely and it aint no bubba job. It is old and expertly fitted.
