That would have been the Model 1766 Charleville musket in .69 caliber and a bayonet.
The musket of choice was the .69 Caliber, model 1766 Charleville flintlock musket which represented the State of the Art in military firearms. The US Model 1795 musket was a direct knock-off of the French weapon with production of about 150,000 weapons produced at Springfield and at Harpers Ferry.
The musket was used by foot soldiers in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

Need photos or more information! This is likely a M 1816 musket. My questions are is it still in it's original flintlock configuration or has it been converted to percussion(as most are) ? Also what is it's overall condition? Without this info it is impossible to give the gun a value.
