• J. VALET A LIEGE MODEL 1728 MUSKET AND
  J. VALET A LIEGE MODEL 1728 MUSKET AND BAYONET Present day Belgium,C. 1744-47.76 bore, NSN, walnut stock, steel fittings, lock marked "JACQUES VALET/A LIEGE", the hammer was refaced during the period, the left side of the breech marked "HDL", an iron ramrod with a tapered head, and an early French Model 1717/29 square-shouldered contract-type bayonet with a small star or sun pattern on the base of the blade and light Roman numerals engraved on the socket, with correspondence from Norm Flayderman regarding how he had come upon the gun and some history. Note: The letters relate that Norm Flayderman purchased this gun and bayonet in 1958 from noted Lexington, Massachusetts artist A. Lassell Ripley. In the notes is a letter from Ripley stating that the gun came from the descendant of Benjamin Hall (1730-1810) from Barrington, New Hampshire with the question whether Hall had been at Lexington and Concord or the Battle of Bunker Hill. He would not have made it to Concord or Lexington in time for the fight, and a search of the New Hampshire records showed that Benjamin Hall of Barrington (there was another Benjamin Hall from the Keene area) was not at Bunker Hill but had arrived for the Siege of Boston not long after the battle. Hall was a member of Captain Titcomb's company, Col. Poor's regiment stationed at Medford and served until his enlistment ran out in the late fall of 1775. While searching the town and county histories for Hall, a History of Dover New Hampshire had a listing for him which stated "He lived in Barrington, was a soldier of the Revolution, commencing at Cambridge, and brought home a remarkable musket." In Kevin Gelinas' article titled "Liege Firearms in New France," his research proves that these Liege-produced small arms were made for service in New France between 1744 and 1747. For more information on the history of these guns, see the above mentioned article in the October 2016 issue of Man at Arms magazine, pp. 23-33. For information on the bayonet, see "The Bayonet in New France 1665-1760" by Erik Goldstein, Museum Restoration Service, 1997, pp. 19-22.
