This is an absolutely, untouched, attic condition, brass mounted Palmetto Musket.  It has strong lock markings with the bushy tree and Palmetto Armory stamped forward of the hammer and Columbia SC 1852 to the rear.  The rear of the barrel is marked VP Palmetto Tree and WG & Co.  The barrel tang and the butt plate tang are both marked SC.  The wood is in its original oil finish with rub.  There is no burnout behind the bolster but there is a small chip missing to the right of the barrel tang.  There is also a piece of wood broken out beneath and to the rear of the lock plate.  You will notice there is no erosion of the bolster.  It is not pitted.  The brass barrel bands are original and in their natural patination.  The barrel has the bayonet lug on the bottom and is really very smooth brown.  On the left side of the stock, below the middle barrel band, it is carved H Brull.  Above the middle barrel band, it is carved 42.  The swivels and the ramrod are original.  There is even a piece of an old sling still attached to the middle barrel band.  I have had a lot of these old guns but I think this is one of the better all around guns with brass mountings that I have had.  SOLD!!
