FINE MODEL 1861 SPRINGFIELD RIFLED MUSKET WITH BAYONET.

SN NSN. 58 Cal. 40″ rifled bbl. This was the most advanced longarm 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 fine and untouched and appears “as found”. This particular specimen saw honest use still retaining bright crisp markings and gun is in the kind of condition that Civil War aficionados 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 one discernible though light cartouche. Bbl is dated 1862 and lock is dated 1861. This honest lightly used relic of the war has some personalized initials carved in buttstock and is a fine example of a musket that saw action in the Civil War. PROVENANCE: Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: This gun is very good to fine overall. Metal surfaces are mottled gray/brown with areas of staining and pin-prick pitting. Gun is well fit, tight and mechanically functional. Stock is dark with edge wear and some 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 cartouche in stock is discernible as can be seen in photos. The bore has well discerned rifling. Associated bayonet is cleaned overall, no surcharge with pitting but fits gun. 4-54258 JS231 (2,500-4,500) – Lot 3240
