HARPER'S FERRY RIFLED & SIGHTED U.S. MODEL 1842 MUSKET
|
|
|
Description :
|
Here is an original, U.S. Model 1842 Musket produced at Harper's Ferry Armory in 1854. Originally a .69 caliber smooth bore, this musket has been fitted with sights and rifled for use with the .69 caliber Minie Ball ammunition. These converted smooth-bores saw extensive service during the war, especially in the first three years of the conflict. This musket is in very good condition. All the parts are original, and it has a mostly smooth, dark brown patina. There is some pitting around the bolster. The bore is very dark, with significant pitting. The mechanics work well. The stock has the usual small dings and scratches from years of use. No cartouche is visible. This is a solid Civil War musket. Stock no. 20994
