I got an early P-H musketoon that I have not fired yet. It is from the early 70's and looks unfired. Nice gun but the wood is of a light color that seems odd to me. Someone chipped off the toe of the stock and reglued it with brass pin reinforcements, I think that is like an arsenal repair, using brass? Well it only cost me 250$. ONe of these days when I have alot of time on my hands I will make it bark. Everyone online says it is not authentic CW era due to the shape of the barrel bands, etc. but I think I will use it for fun, not for reenacting. I love to see CW reenactors but never wanted to be one. Guess it is my flat feet. I hate lots of marching. Luckily the AF did not have 20 mile hikes etc.
