CIVIL WAR Antique ANCION & CIE. French Model 1842 Percussion RIFLE-MUSKET
Likely UNION ARMY Musket with BAYONET
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique ANCION & CIE. French Model 1842 Percussion RIFLE-MUSKET Likely UNION ARMY Musket with BAYONET Here we present an antique Belgian Ancion & Cie French Model 1842 Style Percussion Musket, manufactured circa the late 1850s to early 1860s in Liege, Belgium. This is a nice example of one of the tens of thousands of European muskets and rifles imported to arm early war volunteers in the American Civil War. Many of these arms were made in Liege, who’s gun makers produced copies of regulation arms for a number of European countries. This example is a copy of the French Model 1842 and is marked “ANCION & Cie/A LIEGE” with cartouche marks clearly marked on the stock. As is characteristic of many Belgian and French arms, it has a back action lock, with the lock plate secured at the rear by a screw requiring a special screwdriver to discourage the infantry soldiers from meddling where they shouldn’t. There were many muskets purchased by the Union agent Hartley throughout Europe. This weapon was imported in large quantities and was issued, and disliked, by thousands of Union infantrymen. Imported arms played a key role in the early years of the war before the U.S. armories and contractors could catch up in production. Some estimates of imported French and Belgian arms place their numbers close to 150,000 examples. The overall condition is very good. Robust action. Nicely rifled and bright bore. This example sports a solid stock with average wear from use. Legible markings. Visivle cartouches behind the barrel tang atop the wrist. The bayoney is in good shape. Various proof marks can bee seen throughout. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 40-1/2 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 $2000 #228569 SOLD Antique: Yes |
