Originally I thought this musket was a good reconversion but on further examination I think that only the pan was replaced and the touch hole was rebushed by Joseph Perkins while employed by the Continental Armory of Philadelphia in 1780.  This was done so professionally that the work can’t be detected without pulling the lock.  However, the price I paid for it was as a reconversion so I’m passing the bargain along.  All the muskets that were in American hands at the end of the American Revolution were repaired and refurbished at either the Continental Armory or the French Factory.  The stock bears his (J P ) inspector initials on the beaver tail around the barrel tang.   The musket is in really good shape retaining all it’s original wood and a great black patina.  The lock is one of the ones that Britain imported at the height of the War from Leige,Belgium. The 42" barrel is engraved 60 Regt..  The 60th Regt. were also know as the Royal Americans and were originaly formed during the French & Indian War. During the American Revolution they remained loyal to the Mother Country.  This musket obviously was captured by by the Patriots as it ended up in our inventory for repairs.   A great musket that saw service on both sides in the American Revolution and was reburbished and possibly saw service in the War of 1812 as well.
