PALMETTO ARMORY MUSKET.

PALMETTO ARMORY MUSKET. This M1842 musket appears to be original though composed of parts from Springfield and The Palmetto Armory. Overall condition, fit, and general appearance lead us to believe this gun was used like this during the Civil War. Most Palmetto muskets are brass-mounted, but there are many that have turned up with Springfield bbls that no doubt were original and used during the war. This gun has excellent markings, as can be seen in photos, that would display well. The lock is marked forward to the hammer “PALMETTO ARMORY SC” surrounding a palm tree. Behind hammer is marked “COLUMBIA SC 1852”. Springfield bbl is marked with “VP” and is dated 1845. CONDITION: Overall, gun is good to very good. Metal is gray overall with scattered pitting. Bore is fairly bright. Stock is sound and solid with scattered dings, dents, and a crack in forestock between lower bands. 4-44231 JS92 (3,000-4,000)
