German muskets of the Revolution
Interesting article on the flintlocks used by the German troops in the Revolution. Image is of the Von Bose (originally Von Trumbach) regiment armed with a Brown Bess.

Basically Hessian and Brunswick muskets were lookalikes of the Potsdam 1740 and some may have even been armed with them. Read about them here
