1854 DATED MODEL 1842 SPRINGFIELD RIFLED-MUSKET WITH BAYONET.

SN N/A. Cal. 69. 42″ bbl. This is an extremely nice 1854 dated model 1842 that has been sighted and rifled for the Civil War. This gun overall is very fine with extremely bright markings and discernible inspector’s cartouche. This musket conforms to standard configuration of this model, being marked on lock with an eagle over “US” and “Springfield 1854”. Bbl has VP and eagle head proofs with matching 1854 tang date. Buttplate is properly US surcharged. These muskets with long-range rear sights are quite scarce and most saw hard service during the Civil War. This is a fine example with matching bayonet that is all orig and authentic and complete throughout. PROVENANCE: Robert H. Haskell, III Estate Collection. CONDITION: Bbl is gray with areas of staining and pitting. VP eagle head proof is crisp. The “1854” date on tang is crisp and well-struck as can be seen in photos. Bore is clean with crisp, discernible rifling. Lock is gray/white with crisp markings, as can be seen in photos. The balance of iron is gray with scattered staining and pitting. Stock is very good with fairly crisp edges with discernible cartouche. There are typical storage dings and dents. Accompanying bayonet is US surcharged and has comparable surface to gun. 4-50189 JS24 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 2550
