MUSKETEER RIFLES BELGIAN TWO BAND FLINTLOCK MUSKET .62CAL

Key features and historical pedigree

This example is NSN and dated circa the late 1790s, classically built as a two-band flintlock musket with a 31″ barrel and an overall length of 47″. The firearm’s action functions properly, and the metal exhibits an even brown patina indicative of age and honest preservation. Notably, the butt plate is a later replacement—very likely from a German 1871 rifle—adding an unusual cross-era component that tells a story beyond a single manufacture date. Priced at $1750.99, it sits in a range appropriate for serious collectors seeking original condition with identifiable alterations.
