I picked up this musket as I had been waiting for a musket to come along that had the majority of the characteristics, that this one show's.
Nice plum patina, sharp wood lines,(stock not refinished), and for the most part, not messed with.

Very Nice musket. Thanks for sharing.
 
What is fascinating is that William Mason also made locomotives with one being the oldest existing operational locomotive in the United States, that being the William Mason built in 1857.
