FOR SALE Original Type I W.T Wickham Contract Model 1816 musket

[Kahlebhorton]

Considerably nice, unconverted, and untouched example of a m1816 Type 1 Transitional musket by Marine T. Wickham. This is one of 5,000 muskets from Wickham’s 1822 contract. The “V/GF”is from George Flegel’s stamp who inspected the last of Wickham’s contract on April 29, 1823. The bore has a few spots of pitting but is very serviceable. The locks functions as it should, unfortunately the original ram rod has a few inches broken off of it. The stock retains it’s original inspection cartouches as described above, as well as a few interesting added inscriptions. On either side of the stock is a CT inside of a uniform circle, possibly a state militia marking? Included with this musket is an original bayonet! I have fired this musket and it functions flawlessly. $1600 or trades. Please pm me for inquiries.
