Anyone have info. on EXACTLY how many MHG. muskets were actually shipped to montreal (Quebec Canada).

I have read that 2500 were ordered and shipped. other literature says approx. 1000 were sold. still,a ''dealer'' in Canada has ''one of only 827 '' muskets purchased by the MHG.
As a side note, MHG were well to do English business men that actually paid for the muskets out of their own pockets....factory would have their names ''Engraved'' on stock and or receiver.....

Its been said that the WELL TO DO did not want to ''go over seas'' but wanted to appear that they were ''doing their part''.
