Revised: 3/16/2009

Additional Information: At least one person has questioned whether this gun is a re-conversion. We have removed the locks and if it is in fact a re-conversion, it is the finest work we have ever seen.

MODEL 1795 SPRINGFIELD FLINTLOCK MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal 69. 44-3/4″ bbl. You are bidding on a fine example of the first Springfield musket known to collectors as the Model 1795 Springfield Musket Type 1. These guns were made 1799-1804. The condition overall on this gun is excellent. Markings are crisp and well defined. The lock is properly marked “Springfield” and proofed with large well delineated federal eagle with “US” in its breast and a script “US” below. A large “US” is stamped in top of bbl. The “P/V/eagle head” proofs on bbl are very good. “RP” is stamped on trigger guard plate. “800” is stamped on buttplate tang, possibly denoting manufacturing date of 1800. Top of buttplate comb is stamped “P14”. Rarely are these early Springfields offered in such superior condition with all the earliest features including one piece welded swing swivels and removable beveled/faceted flash pans. CONDITION: Metal surfaces overall are gray/bright with scattered areas of rust and pitting. Bore is smooth and shows little wear. Stock overall is very good and sound with scattered scratches and scrapes. Markings, as can be seen in photographs, are crisp and well defined. Mechanism works well. 4-37385 JS7 (9,000-12,500)
