New England COLONIAL AMERICAN Antique CLUB BUTT .85 Fowling Piece/MUSKET
Similar Examples Attributed to COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND
Here we present an antique Colonial American Club Butt Flintlock Musket made circa the American War for Indpendence. Such muskets as this are well known and documented as being used by local militias such as the Minutemen in the 13 original colonies.
This period of United States history saw quite a small national standing army and hosts of statewide militias. These were meant for repelling foreign invasion, creating a barrier between states and the federal government, defending towns from attack and uprisings, especially against Native Americans and slaves, but also from bandits, along with other policing duties. Militias were sometimes longstanding, prestigious and influential organizations. At other times they were ad hoc and reactive to the given circumstances. There was a great distrust of a federally controlled militia system or a large standing army in the early days of the Republic.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. The finish has matured to dark patina. Shortened barrel. This example sports a solid stock with average wear and a nice re-oiling. A great example of a piece like the ones used before and during the American Revolutionary War!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 34-3/4 inches.
Caliber: .85 Flintlock
Overall condition as seen in photos.
