I have what I think is a Charleville pattern musket. It has two dates on the barrel. An 1820 date above the wood and an 1846 date on the bottom of the barrel. The musket is 56 1/2" long with a 41 1/8" barrel that measures .7375" bore diameter. All the furniture is brass except the buttplate which is iron. The lock is engraved "Neifse" With the two dates being 26 years apart could this have been originally a flintlock that was later converted to percussion. I mostly work on submachine guns up to the 1980s so muzzleloaders are way out of my knowledge base. Any help anyone could be would be greatly appreciated.
