Daily News | Stolen muskets, pistols, and swords from the Revolutionary War have been recovered by the FBI
Fifty historical artifacts — some dating as far back as before the Revolutionary War — were returned to more than a dozen museums and historical societies Monday after being stolen decades ago.
The recovery of the items was the culmination of a years-long collaborative investigation that included the FBI, the United States Attorney’s Office, Upper Merion Township Police, and curators and researchers who helped identify the artifacts. The investigation that led to the recovery of the artifacts was sparked by two Upper Merion Township detectives and the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, which reopened a cold case investigation into antique firearms that had been stolen from the Valley Forge Historical Society Museum between 1968 and 1979.artifacts from museums along the East Coast for two decades.
During the investigation, a confidential source turned over items believed to have been stolen from Pennsylvania museums, including an 18th century flintlock musket and a 1775 musket. Investigators later executed a search warrant at Corbett’s home in Delaware, where they found antique firearms and other items they believed had been stolen from museums.
