That's an interesting piece of history for sure. One would think that a museum dedicated to the Bunker Hill Battle would want to jump all over this musket.  :shake

Thanks for sharing about the musket. I saw it on FB and was going to share it then got a call and never got back to it...It is a true piece of American military histor. My hope is that it goes to a good museum so it can be shared with the public.
