CIVIL WAR Era Antique AUSTRIAN M1842 TUBE LOCK/Percussion Conversion MUSKET 1854 Dated UNION and CONFEDERATE Import
Description: CIVIL WAR Era Antique AUSTRIAN M1842 TUBE LOCK/Percussion Conversion MUSKET 1854 Dated UNION and CONFEDERATE Import Here we present an antique Percussion Conversion Austrian Model 1842 Musket, made circa 1854 in Austria. These muskets are known to have been imported to the United States and to the Confederacy during the American Civil War. At least 25,000 of the Austrian tube-lock muskets were purchased by the U.S. Ordnance Department during the Civil War. These muskets were originally made using the “tube lock” mechanism, essentially a very distinct percussion conversion of a flintlock gun, that was more aimed at saving money and not having to retrain an entire army than being state of the art. They were not long after considered obsolete, but the American Civil War created demand for even what was considered old technology, and the Austrians were happy to be paid for their old stock. Before being exported they were converted from the tube-lock system to the more conventional percussion system via several different methods, as is this example, and many were also fitted with ramrods since the Austrian Cavalry carried theirs on their person. The overall condition is good. Original patina. The action is strong but only has a full-cock. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The stock shows use and weathering with a small hole under the ramrod channel where thin; overall solid. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 37-1/2 inches. Caliber: .72 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 $1650 #233916 SOLD Antique: Yes |
