REVOLUTIONARY WAR
FRENCH MUSKET 1771 - 1776 Unmarked as to manufacture, but obvious French hammer and a wonderful "United States" surcharge. These surcharges resulted from shortages early in the American Revolution. Weapons were scarce and foreign procurement of weapons remained problematic. To institute greater control over arms, on February 14, 1777, the Board of War recommended to the Continental Congress that all Continental Arms be stamped “U States” and on February 24, 1777, the Continental Congress resolved that Arms and Accoutrements shall be stamped with the words “United States”. This resolution was implemented by George Washington who directed the Commissary general’s department to have all arms stamped. The muskets so
marked are marked only on the stocks and the "U. States" mark is more common,
with the full "United States" like this being the rarest of all surcharges!
This musket has been shortened a very long time ago (possibly during the period)
but is otherwise in good condition for a Revolutionary War gun that was
positively
used during the war in America!
