This musket was manufactured in the early 1800s and likely meant for arming a British yeomanry unit during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The lock has the Georgian cipher at center and "J.G. JONES" at the tail. Jones's identity is not clear. There were several John Jones gunmakers in England at the time. The barrel has a bayonet stud/front sight and Tower private proofs. The furniture is brass. The buttplate has "14" on the heel (probably a rack number).
