Well, I was excited to find one infantry button, but went back to the site and found two more! Not too shabby for Michigan! I'm wondering if the brass piece is a trigger guard. What do you guys think?
Sweet! I was thinking that's what it was. Now I'll have to dig all iron hits to find the rest of the musket.....lol. I'm liking the lock as well, it has German writing on it. I haven't had time to research it yet. The cool thing is that if I had a key it might still function as the mechanism still moves! Thanks for the id guys, and the comments!
