This is the results of my latest gun show fiasco. I was looking for a Model 1816 Type 2. I saw this with the type 2 swivel attachment and and the 1816 type lock plate and then sort of became fixated on trying to figure out if it was a reconversion and didn't look at any of the other details. The dealer, who shall remain nameless is semi disreputable, but I got it for a little more then half his asking price so I didn't feel I was paying too much. What I think I got is a musket assemble from semi random period parts. First thing I noticed when I got home was that the lock is dated 1837, so not a lock for a type 2, then when I hung it on the wall between my type 1 and type 3 I noticed that the stock just doesn't look right. The middle band is in the wrong spot and the drop in the butt is just wrong. So my question it; what is it from? in the picture below it is the middle one.



The lock is marked with a S and G and either "M.N" or "MoN".



Thoughts?

Thanks

Howard
