Item Description: Translate description
This brass buttplate shows clear French influence with an anchor-shaped tang engraved with rococo scrolls and inscribed "1757". This early New England sideplate has a large iron button on the top of the tang, which opens the door on the back, which stored a small bayonet for use on the fusil or musket that once utilized this buttplate. The internal mechanism is still in tact and functional. The plate is 2" wide, the back is 5-1/4" tall, and the tang is 4-1/8" in length. CONDITION: Overall with a slightly freckled surface and mustard patina. Tang was broken and has been repaired with filled brass. Hinge mechanism functions well and retains a dark patina. A very early dated New England piece. PROVENANCE: Purchased from Bob Spielman.
