I wonder If you guys could help me find out more about my musket?
On the side of the barrel near the breach there is a number 220 then a symbol like a crown and under the crown the letters AR then under those letters is a T. On top of the barrel near the breach is another crown with the letters "AZ"
On the lock is the number 220 and then a Crown. Under that crown is "Madrid" then under Madrid is "1861". That is all the markings there are.
I know this musket was in the cival war. My great great grandfather was a Farrier for the calvery near Ohio KY border and this was his rifle and my uncle has his sword. I have found him listed in a few books. I found a form ancestry.com that his wife had filled out for his pension.
