IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE PALMETTO MUSKET

IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE PALMETTO MUSKET. This is one of the finest cond. “as found” Palmetto Muskets to be seen.

Bore is smooth and rusted and the line where an extra few inches of Bbl were added is discernible only internally. Brass bands are uncleaned with nice yellow patina.
