    Mystery Charleville Musket 1837??

    Definitely a "Potsdam" as they are generically referred to and a nice one too. It's unusual to find one with the sling swivels and sights still intact and the bayonet is a plus too. Most you see have been altered in some way for civilian use. The 1837 date is when it was converted from flint...

    OK, I think I see what you are saying. Screened is what you buy in a can and pucked is powder compressed into pellets that you load. Did I get that right?

    I couldn't find a forum that matched this perfectly but this is close enough.

    I believe powder is corned, broken up and then screened.

    Deciphering barrel stamps

    I believe it may be PR joined together for Riva Esterina (Officina Meccanica Armi Riva Esterina & Co) also DART. There were at least 2 manufacturers of the Wesson style rifle and one was much better quality than the other but I don't remember much beyond that. Rub some chalk in the stamp and...
