French Charleville Flintlock Musket
During the American War of Independence the French Government supplied large quantities of muskets to the Continental Army. Several arsenals in France produced muskets but the Charleville Model 1763 was the most common and soon all French muskets were referred to as “Charlevilles.” In March 1777, some 25,000 Charleville muskets were received from France.
