During
the War of Independence, the Marquis de Lafayette personally delivered
a gift of 25,000 Charleville Muskets from the French Government to General
Washington.
This
helped turn the tide of the American Revolution. This .69-caliber musket
was considered very strong, reliable and lightweight for its time.
