PALMETTO ARMORY MODEL 1842 MUSKET AND BAYONET.

PALMETTO ARMORY MODEL 1842 MUSKET AND BAYONET. Cal. 69. 41-3/4” bbl with orig WG/SC surcharged Model 1816 Bayonet. Bbl is marked “S.C.” on tang. Breech is marked “VP” over a “Palmetto tree” and “WG & CO”. Lock is marked “COLUMBIA S.C. 1852” behind the hammer and “Palmetto Armory S*C” around a palm tree. Iron buttplate is marked “S.C.” Iron triggerguard and correct 42-style ramrod. Bbl is retained by three orig brass bbl bands and two sling swivels. Stock has three indiscernible initials carved opposite lock. This is a fine example of a normally well-worn Confederate used long arm. The 1816 Bayonet marked “WG “over “SC” is quite scarce also. CONDITION: Metal surfaces all cleaned showing interesting laminated striations in bbl (this would never have passed US inspections). Markings are crisp on bbl, lock, and buttplate. 4-56084 JS28 (8,000-12,000)
