RICHMOND CARBINE AND RICHMOND MUSKET.

RICHMOND CARBINE AND RICHMOND MUSKET. Cal. 58. You are bidding on two 1863 dated Confederate Richmond Arms, both with orig 1863 dated locks. Musket has a very attractive look with orig brass buttplate and nosecap. Carbine is a bit of a relic though still solid and sound but metal pitted overall. PROVENANCE: Dr. Andrew Kelley Collection. CONDITION: Musket conforms to other rifle muskets with 40″ bbl. 3 iron bands, correct brass buttplate and nosecap. Metal overall is gray with areas of staining and pitting. Lock markings are well struck and discernible, as can be seen in photos. “VP” proof on bbl and “U”s on bands are not Richmond. Stock overall sound and solid with old cleaning and numerous small dings, dents and scratches. Musket was not taken apart to ascertain origin of stock and brass buttplate is well fitted. Gun is mechanically functioning with discernible rifling. Carbine is sound and solid, missing sling swivel on front band and rear swivel which was mounted on wood. Front sight is replaced. Bore is smooth and measures about 64 cal. Buttplace has “US” surcharge. Front band and ramrod appear replaced, as their surfaces are not as near as rusted and pitting as the orig iron to this gun. Stock is very weathered and worn. Gun will not hold cock but mainspring is strong. 4-48859, 4-48862 JS21 (4,000-6,000)
