1862 DATED RICHMOND HIGH-HUMP RIFLED MUSKET.

SN NSN. This particular musket appears orig and authentic and “as found”. This survivor apparently came home with a soldier and saw continued use as a fowler with rear sight removed though it still retains some discernible rifling. Gun has also had a new blacksmith added bolster and inset leather repairs around lock. Rear lockscrew is broken off in lock and a nail has been placed at rear of lock instead of replacing lockscrew for continued use. This musket conforms to other 1862 muskets with a distinctive high-hump lockplate marked “C.S./RICHMOND,VA” forward of lock and dated “1862” rear of lock. Bbl proofs are not discernible but the Richmond style mortise cut for rear sight is distinct. When bbl bands are moved forward you can still see the shine on bbl from the time this gun was originally put up. This is a true survivor with orig Confederate manufactured parts that are very difficult to find. PROVENANCE: Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: Gun is good overall. Metal is brown with pitting. Brass buttplate has yellow patina under coat of varnish which continues over stock which has seen old sanding but overall is fairly sound with crack opposite lock and 2-1/2″ portion of wood missing behind lock. Two interesting old 1-1/2″ leather insets nailed in place where normally you see wood repairs. Bbl is full lengh, 40″ with orig front sights. Bore is pitted but rifling is still discernible. Ramrod appears to be orig Richmond tapered rod with a 5″ braised repaired head. 4-54260 JS302 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3271
