    Might anyone identify who made this 1777 Musket?

    It seems this 1777 is a reproduction that's been "cleaned up" (Stock has been sanded and refinished, metal cleaned. ) However, I can't identify who actually made it, when and where?

    Might anyone have any feedback on where this firearm likely came from, as well as how recent it's manufacture is likely?

    Thanks for the feedback.

    DOC AV on Gunboards identified this musket:

    Frenchicon Made, probably sold to Turkeyicon in the late 1700s early 1800s.( Toughra stamp of the Sultan on Lock and Barrel. Script details on LHS of barrel.) Check underneath barrel for St.Etienne Markings ( proofs etc).

    Jean,

    Thanks for the feedback from DocAV. Might you have a link to the gunboards post?

    Regarding fair market value for this, does around $1,000 seem about right? Or is it worth significantly less due to the "cleaning up" that happened?

    Thanks again for the feedback.
