Hi,
Not only were these muskets converted from flintlock to percussion here is one converted to the Snider type system. This one was originally manufactured in 1818. A particularly long life and multiple conversions for what is basically a Napoleonic era musket.
Regards,
Norman.

Hi Rick,
Unfortunately this Snider conversion musket is not mine I wish it was. On another note I am at the moment corresponding with the curator at the Dutch military museum in the hope of getting more info re my musket. Obviously I will let you know the outcome should more relevant info become available.
Hope you are keeping well in these uncertain times.
My Regards,
Norman.
