Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1842 Infantry MUSKET Pre-CIVIL WAR Musket Made in 1848!
Description: Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1842 Infantry MUSKET Pre-CIVIL WAR Musket Made in 1848! Here we present a Springfield Armory U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1848 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 lock is marked “Springfield” and also has the Federal Eagle stamp. Both the lock and the barrel are dated “1848”. This one comes with a bayonet and a later leather sling. The overall condition is very good. The iron parts are gray with age and untouched. The markings are clear. The walnut stock shows use and remains smooth and solid. The bore is smooth and dark. The action is excellent. Here is a truly wonderful example of an antebellum smoothbore musket that would have seen service on both sides of the American Civil War! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 42 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 $1975 #190314 SOLD Antique: Yes |
