Belgian CIVIL WAR Antique LEMILLE French Model 1842 Percussion RIFLE-MUSKET .69 Caliber UNION ARMY Musket
Description: Belgian CIVIL WAR Antique LEMILLE French Model 1842 Percussion RIFLE-MUSKET .69 Caliber UNION ARMY Musket Here we present an antique Belgian LeMille French Model 1842 Style Percussion Musket, manufactured circa the late 1850s to early 1860s in Liege, Belgium. This 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 “LEMILLE/A LIEGE. 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 good. Strong action. This example has a good bore for its age and contains visible rifling. Solid stock with an expected amount of wear. Legible markings. The ramrod is absent. Liege proof marked on the left barrel flat. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 40-5/8 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 $1800 #227618 SOLD Antique: Yes |
