Need help Identifying this musket

[baloozman]

Hi, inherited this from dad, trying to id the manufacturer and date the musket. Here is some photos, any help is deeply appreciated.

is that a "tower of london" inspection stamp on the side plate ?

It's not a military musket. It looks like a fowler(shotgun)to me. Without clear markings it's hard to tell who made it and sometimes even with them they can't be identified. Likewise with dating. Somebody with more knowledge and better pictures might be able to narrow it down some. It's missing the top jaw on the cock and the frizzen.

And a "poor boy" type, too. Just a tallow hole in the stock and no escutcheons for stock pins or keys.

I wouldn't expect a pinned stock to have escutcheons. I wouldn't expect to see a full stock with keys, just sayin.

Better pictures. Let me see the stock from the wrist from the butt. Let me see the muzzle/endcap/rammer.

From the dark images, I suspect it was built from battlefield salvaged parts. That was common during the Revolution.
