This musket has been sitting around my house for a while and no one knows what it is. I think it is either a Prussian Model 1809 or Bavarian Model 1842. It is a smoothbore and is 4' 1 1/4" long. The only identifying marks on it are "GEWERBEVEREIN MÜNCHEN" stamped on the lock plate, which I've Google Translated to "Trade Association, Munich." There is also a small "s" near the rear of the trigger guard plate. Unfortunately, it appears a previous owner cut the stock.
Can anyone shed light on any information on this firearm?
Thanks!
