Found MUSKET in thrift store.

Patrick,jmoore, The photos may look like new but I did try to leave some of the tarnish in the scares and a little around the harder tho clean areas that seems to say clean but not new giving it the antique look or what you call pantina. I call pantina light. Rest assured no sand paper will go any where near this stock. In person the brass looks like brass with character I just to see where the wood ended and the brass began. My photos were taken in haste and the flash really makes the brass look bright yellow than brassy/bronze color. Is there truth in that in USA we tend to like then left alone and in Europe they like them shined up.
