1862 DATED M-1861 SPRINGFIELD RIFLED MUSKET WITH BAYONET.

SN NSN. .58 cal, 40″ rifled bbl. This was the most advanced musket in American armories at the beginning of the Civil War. Several hundred thousand of these guns were made in 1861 and 1862 and most saw very hard use. This particular arm conforms to the standard configuration of other Springfield rifled muskets with typical markings and measurements. This gun is 100% orig, authentic and complete in every regard including bayonet. This particular specimen is about as fine and untouched an example you will find that has seen little if any use, possibly never being fired. This gun is in the kind of condition that Civil War connoisseurs always look for and rarely find. Most guns found in years past have been polished bright. This gun was stored where it has patinaed overall; when a band is moved forward orig bright surfaces are then exposed. The stock still exhibits raised grain with two bright, crisp cartouches. The bore is bright and shiny and rifling is crisp. The accompanying bayonet exhibits same surface. PROVENANCE: Robert H. Haskell, III Estate Collection. CONDITION: This gun is fine overall. Metal surfaces are brown/gray with areas of staining and pin-prick pitting. Gun is well fit, tight and mechanically functional. Stock is dark with crisp edges and areas of raised grain with typical storage dents and scuffs. Buttplate is properly US surcharged with pitting. Bbl date of 1862 and VP Eagle Head proof are crisp and well-defined on the bbl breech. Lock markings are crisp and well-defined as can be seen in photos. Inspector’s cartouches and stock are crisp and well-defined as can be seen in photos. The bore is shiny with crisp rifling with some pitting and staining near muzzle end. 4-50188 JS25 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2320
