NEAR MINT 1864 DATED MODEL 1863 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE MUSKET.

NEAR MINT 1864 DATED MODEL 1863 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal. 58. This is a virtually new late Civil War Springfield rifle musket. This gun has a bright bbl measuring 40″ with a blued 1-leaf rear sight. Iron bands, nosecap, trigger guard, buttplate, screws and sling swivels are bright as issued. All markings are bright and crisp. Lock and hammer still exhibit most of their case colors as can be seen in photos. Stock also is like new exhibiting only a couple light storage dents and scratches. Stock has no inspector cartouches but does have a sub-inspector “B” stamped rear of trigger guard. Bore is shiny mint. If you ever wanted the finest example of the late model Springfield with band springs, this would be it. CONDITION: As described above, this gun appears to have come right out of a crate. Bbl exhibits bright original surface with small areas of pinprick pitting and staining. Bbl markings are crisp. The 1864 date has a bit of a “shudder” where stamped (as can be seen in photos). Lock and hammer retain about 80% of their bright case colors with balance silver gray with scattered staining. Other iron surfaces are fine with scattered staining and pinprick pitting. There is a “12” stamped behind top butt screw behind “US”. Bore is bright and shiny with crisp rifling and appears unfired. Stock is excellent with raised grain and only a few minor dents and abrasions. 4-38701 JS116 (2,000-3,000)
