CIVIL WAR Antique WHITNEYVILLE .58 Caliber U.S. M1861 CONTRACT Rifle-MUSKET Part of His “GOOD and SERVICEABLE ARMS” Line
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique WHITNEYVILLE .58 Caliber U.S. M1861 CONTRACT Rifle-MUSKET Part of His “GOOD and SERVICEABLE ARMS” Line Here we present an antique Whitney Model 1861 percussion rifle-musket made in New Haven, Connecticut, circa 1863. Eli Whitney Jr. and his family legacy, Whitneyville Armory, played a large role in providing small arms to the Union during the American Civil War. This example is one of the Rifle-Muskets provided by Whitney to the U.S. Government by contract. Most of his muskets he provided were part of his “Good and Serviceable Arms” line, which was focused on providing arms to state militias, though as mentioned, this example was part of a U.S. marked government contract. The Good and Serviceable Arms were made of large lots of parts which he purchased from the federal armories and other contractors to assemble into rifle-muskets good enough for service with the states who, unlike the federal government, had lesser standards and did not use gauges during their inspections. He wasn’t shy about this either. These arms were good enough, better to be sure than many of the muskets being bought and shipped back from Europe, and they were less expensive than had they been built from the ground up with all the gauging that went into federal contracts. The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock, contains average wear with minor dents and dings. Legible markings. The barrel is drilled and tapped near the rear sight. “LFC” is hand carved on the stock to the right side of the trigger guard. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 27 inches. Caliber: .58 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 $1500 #228156 SOLD Antique: Yes |
