Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1842 Percussion .69 Cal. Smoothbore MUSKET
With BAYONET & Various Accessories
Description: Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD Model 1842 Percussion .69 Cal. Smoothbore MUSKET With BAYONET & Various Accessories Here we present an antique Springfield Armory U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1852 in Springfield, Massachusetts. From the period of 1844 until 1855, about 275,000 Model 1842 muskets were manufactured at the Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories, along with some being made by private providers commissioned to assist in production. Along with usage during the Mexican-American War in 1846 through 1848, these would have been in the hands of local militia all over the antebellum United States and used by both combatants at the outbreak of the American Civil War. Sights were not included in the smoothbore’s design but arrived later as the muskets were rifled later in its life. The Model 1842 was the first regulation percussion musket to be manufactured at both Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories, as well as the first to be produced by both national armories with fully-interchangeable parts. These were also the last .69 caliber smoothbore arms to be produced by the U.S. government. The overall condition is good. Patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is dim and smooth. There is a small chip on the left side of the muzzle. The stock is solid, showing wear, and maintaining a visible inspector cartouche. The ramrod is an ad hoc replacement. The bayonet is in good condition. The pouch is original and made by Gaylord of Chicopee, Massachusetts and is in fair shape for age. There is a capper made in Italy and the powder flask which is absent its spout but otherwise functional. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 41 inches. Caliber: .69 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1675 #226133 SOLD Antique: Yes |
