RICHMOND 1864 DATED RIFLE MUSKET. This gun consists of 1864 dated Richmond lock, 1864 dated bbl, not of Richmond manufacture, nor is the stock which retains old U.S. inspector’s cartouche. Bands and trigger guard are iron and not of Richmond manufacture. Brass buttplate and nosecap are typical of Richmond manufacture. It is well known that Richmond at 1864 was using battlefield gleaned parts, and this could be the case as color to metal on lock and bbl match well as does their fit. CONDITION: Metal overall is gray with areas of rust and pitting. Markings are good, as can be seen in photos. Bore is good with good rifling. Brass buttplate is poorly fit with gap. 4-44272 JS82 (4,000-6,000)
