CONFEDERATE PALMETTO MUSKET. These muskets were part of a State of South Carolina contract, William Glaze provided the State of South Carolina with Muskets, Rifles, Pistols, and sabers. This is one of the model 1842 muskets. This musket conforms with other known Palmetto muskets in every regard, and this gun has all the markings you would expect to see, including lock markings as pictured, “SC” on bbl tang, and buttplate, “WG & C” stamped on the backside of bbl. This is a nice example of an all orig. complete and authentic, secondary Confederate arm that saw hard service by South Carolina forces in the Confederacy. CONDITION: Metal, both Iron and Brass have all been polished, cleaned and varnished. Brass bands retain their high polish under cover of varnish. Much of the varnish on the iron has worn away appearing as stains, scattered on the various surfaces. Markings are all quite discernible though “SC” on bbl tang is only partially visible as can be seen in photos. 4-44119 JS98 (6,000-8,000)
