Hammer works well.Under the name is a W in block letters, brass flash pan.. Stock has name engraved behind trigger guard: GREEN, buttplate has a short tang. Right side of butt has No. /66, but could be Ne./66. Oddly with two brass barrel bands, and never having a third band, looks French in configuration.Medal on barrel with a proof of looks like D or, crown over E ! has brown even patina.Stock is complete, and very good condition looks like walnut.Has an iron military style early ramrod. Most likely offered as a trade musket, but even more likely as a Colonies assembled militia musket.
