UNIQUE CONFEDERATE FAYETTEVILLE RIFLED MUSKET. This unique gun is only 40″ rifled-musket we know of with Fayetteville mark lock. This is also the only lock of this configuration with “CSA/FAYETTEVILLE NC” markings. This gun was originally in the collection of Norm Flayderman and was sold by Butterfields in San Francisco as lot 1502 1/27/1997. The gun appears to be composite parts from Civil War era muskets with an 1862 dated bbl with VP-eagle proof. Gun has ironed bands, iron nosecap, and iron trigger guard with a brass trigger bow, and a brass buttplate. The swelled iron ramrod is consistent configuration to M1855/1861 rifled muskets. The lock markings, as can be seen in photos, are no doubt old but are these marks from an unknown Fayetteville armorer, Fayetteville armory, or just fantasy. You be the judge, as this gun is being sold “as is”. CONDITION: Iron components are gray/brown with overall pitting and rust. Bore exhibits discernible rifling though pitted, brass buttplate exhibits numerous scrapes, scratches, dents, dings,and old tool marks, and has lighter color than the well-patinaed brass trigger bow which is marked internally “96 over X”. 4-44270 JS78 (2,000-3,000)
