Hello everyone. I’m told that this gun was dug up on my great grandparent’s property in the 50s outside of Philadelphia. It’s not in good shape, so I’m finding it difficult to figure out if it is an antique or a reproduction.
It’s very rusted and I can’t pull back the flintlock. It also has a serial code stamped on the metal part (18046) I’m not familiar with musket terminology so apologies. The initials W and a backwards S are stamped on the butt. However my great grandfather’s initials were WZ so it’s possible he did it himself.
Any help would be appreciated!
