CONFEDERATE RICHMOND MUSKETOON.

CONFEDERATE RICHMOND MUSKETOON. SN NSN. 62 Cal. smooth bore. There is considerable controversy published concerning these 30″ smooth bore musketoons as to whether Civil War production or some kind of post-war cadet gun. Regardless, these guns are listed in much of the literature as Confederate, and this specimen appears original and authentic and well-fit. Battlefield gleaned parts were no doubt used in late production Richmond carbines and rifles. This gun has an 1862 dated Richmond lock, well fit to an 1864 dated bbl. This gun is iron mounted with an unsurcharged iron buttplate, iron nosecap, 2-leaf rear sight and standard musket-style front sight. Swelled ramrod appears original, though cut with no threading. CONDITION: Overall very good. Metal is gray/brown with scattered stains, rust and pitting. Stock is sound and solid with scattered scrapes, scratches and sanded with old refinish. Bore is rusted. 4-44121 JS108 (3,000-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2011

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
