    It appears to be .62, or thereabouts.

    It never occured to me that it might be loaded...

    Lock is marked 'Sargant'. Any information is appreciated.

    Thnx.

    From my dad: Smoothbore 'trade musket'

    That makes sense.

    From my dad: Smoothbore 'trade musket'

    A friend of mine confirmed it is .62.

    From my dad: Smoothbore 'trade musket'

    Like I stated earlier: it feels 'alive' in my hands.

    From my dad: Smoothbore 'trade musket'

    I will take a closer look. If it's rifled, why are there no sights or provisions for sights? Anyone care to place a tentative value on it? A friend of mine is interested in it.

    Re: the grip. I have no idea, but I believe the barrel has been shortened as there is no front sight, and the edges appear to be 'too squared'. Perhaps it suffered damage of the muzzle at some point? The bore appears to be .50.

    From my dad: Smoothbore 'trade musket'

    Information with it (a rarity with my dad's things) date it to 1844. It's VERY lightweight and would be a joy to carry 'woods walking'. It almost feels 'alive' in my hands.

    What is it and where'd it come from?

    OK. Now you've got me thinking it may be something Bannerman's turned out. If so, I'm tempted to shoot it. 😀

    More from my late dad's safe...

    I teach high school Science. Over 10% of the students in my school are classified as 'homeless'. Every single day I am reminded of how fortunate I was to have 2 wonderful parents that loved me and each other.

    Any bladesmiths here?

    Wicked! Re: rebar. I once wore a hammer out on a piece of 1-inch rebar. I consider it to be in the same league as railroad spikes... :/
  20. JH1961

    What is it and where'd it come from?

    No proof marks, or markings of any kind that I can discern on the barrel..
