Hello Adam;
I did an internet search, but unfortunately I didn't come up with much in the way of a 'specific' musket; I did find a source, however, that stated that the Hessian muskets "appear similar to the brown bess, with Charville barrel bands". I also found another source that said that German arms manufacturers built their guns using a variety of locks, barrels, stocks, ect....basically, whatever was on hand (and, I would assume, whatever was captured). This is why I posed the question.....I have found references to "Prussian muskets", but these are from 1806, well after the revolution.

I'll keep searching...............
