US MODEL 1851 CADET MUSKET AND BAYONET.

US MODEL 1851 CADET MUSKET AND BAYONET. Cal. 58. 40″ bbl. This is one of the finest Model 1851 that you will ever find. Metal is bright and wood is crisp with sharp edges. Markings are excellent, crisp and clear. Stock has pleasing red color. About 4,000 of these muskets were made for various military academies between 1851-1853, this gun being probably among the last.
