The bannister rail stock is in good shape, with some chips and dings, and a great looking patina of age. The swan-neck hammer lock is fully functional, and holds half-cock solidly.
The 84TH Regiment was known as:- "ROYAL HIGHLAND EMIGRANTS", and was raised in Canada from Scottish immigrants to defend Quebec and British Canada from possible U.S. Revolutionary Army invasion. They were made up of two battalions, and they served extensively throughout the Atlantic Canada and the America colonies during the Revolutionary war.
The Commanders of the were Lieutenant Colonel Allen Maclean (1st Battalion) and Major General John Small of Strathardle (2nd Battalion). The Regiment served at the Battle of BUNKER HILL and throughout the thirteen Colonies. There is excellent information on WIKIPEDIA if you put in 84th Regiment of Foot. They were disbanded following the end of the Revolutionary war, and some settled in Canada, while others took passage back to Britain.
A very fine musket in very good condition that served in the Revolutionary War, ready to display.
