Revolutionary war vets were told they could keep their government provided muskets after the war...one of the ways to pay them in some form...government provided muskets? I would almost bet that these were private weapons.

I just read the copy of the original letter...It may be one of those “muskets”...”or whatever the case may be”. The intent is very clear...it was a form of payment...

"I would almost bet that these were private weapons." Not necessarily. Toward the end of the war, the French supplied a lot of "military aid".
