Potsdam

[Yagee]

Hi All,

Well My friend got a few more pictures of the Potsdam. I hope they can help add some more info. I asked if there was any more marking on the rifle, and he said there were none.

Nice musket! It's a little later than I'm used to seeing, mostly I've seen Rev. War era stuff, interesting to see something a little later. :thumbsup:

I would say it's a restock from the repairfactorys
using old and new parts timeframe 1807-1813.

At febuary 1809 there were parts from 19000 guns 4000 carbines at the repairfactory at Königsberg those parts had been resampled to new guns.

Yagee,
Neat musket, as with all of them, wish it could talk!. It's odd that the middle barrel band spring is to the front of the band, while the front and rear bands, the spring is to the rear.
