Here's my newest and I'm really happy and proud of it. Made a trade for one of my .58 caliber rifle muskets.
This is a gorgeous Pedersoli Model 1816 .69 caliber smoothbore flintlock musket. I had a gaping hole in my collection in that I didn't have any flintlock military muskets and have been wanting one for a long time.
Both this and my M1861 Springfield .58 rifle musket are Pedersoli which I'm very happy with. Pedersoli is certainly at the top when it comes to quality for the old repros.
Frizzen seems good and hard and sparks well everytime. I'll shoot both patched roundball and buck and ball out of this honey. So now, I have a really nice representation of the type and evolution of military guns in the 19th century. I now have the 1816 to add to my smoothie 1842 percussion musket, my 1861 Springfield Rifle, 1862 Richmond Rifle, and then my original M1873 Trapdoor (dated 1884). Hopefully I'll get her out this week and burn some powder.
The stock and color are super nice.
The rifle I traded was a repro M1855 Harpers Ferry rifle and I was super happy that this new one is also stamped Harpers Ferry. Super cool.
