Note
There were 5,340 Harpers Ferry Model 1795 muskets delivered into military stores in 1815 (Peter A. Schmidt, U.S. Military Flintlock Muskets and Their Bayonets, The Early Years 1790-1815, (Woonsocket, R.I.; Andrew Mowbray Publishers, 2006), Chapter 1, especially p. 117).

The 'OHIO' marking on the barrel indicates that the musket was part of the distribution of arms to Ohio likely in the 1820s or 1830s according to provisions of the Militia Act of 1808 (Peter A. Schmidt, U.S. Military Flintlock Muskets and Their Bayonets, The Later Years 1816 through the Civil War, (Woonsocket, R.I.; Andrew Mowbray Publishers, 2007), pp. 250 and 255).
