I found this old musket at a flea market. I believe it is a Harpers Ferry 1836 flintlock that has been converted to percussion. The top rear of the barrel has the number73 and the top of the tang has the number 1036 or 1836. The rear of the lock is marked HARPERS over FERRY over 1836. Just in front of the hammer the lock is marked with an eagle over US.There is no rear sight and the front sight appears to be missing the blade. The barrel measures 42 inches and the bore measures 0. 695. Any info & approximate value will be appreciated.
