"B. EVANS PHILADELPHIA MODEL 1816 MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal. 69. Mr. Michel describes this gun as follows: "Bolster alteration to percussion of Model 1816 Evans/Philadelphia musket. Lockplate of musket marked forward of hammer 'B. Evans' in upward curve over 'Phila'. Note: this musket is rare even in its unaltered state. Reilly, in United States Martial Flintlocks on p. 101 notes only a single specimen with this marking is known to the author. This alteration is typical of that done by Union Manufacturing Co. of Richmond, Virginia. Round bottom bolster is fitted to lockplate which has been filed to conform to its rounded contour. Inside of percussion hammer is marked with typical 'U' over re-assembly number, in this instance '309'. '309' also appears stamped inside lockplate. Mainspring is missing. With bayonet". CONDITION: Metal surfaces cleaned and are gray/brown with pitting. Stock is sound with scratches, nicks, and gouges and old varnish. Accompanying bayonet is US surcharged and inspected and is very good overall. Middle band is stamped "213". Other two bands are not numbered. 4-31269 JS202 (3,000-5,000)"
