MODEL 1847 SPRINGFIELD U.S. CAVALRY RIFLED MUSKETOON.

MODEL 1847 SPRINGFIELD U.S. CAVALRY RIFLED MUSKETOON. SN NSN. Cal. 69. This is a scarce variation of the 1847 cavalry musketoon in that it is rifled and has a 2-leaf rear sight. Lock on this gun is dated 1848 and bbl is dated 1850. There is a faint cartouche in stock opposite lock. This gun conforms to the standard configuration of this model, having brass U.S. surcharged buttplate, brass trigger guard and bands. The 9″ sling bar is present but the swivel ramrod is missing along with the stud on bottom of bbl that contained the chain. There is a European replacement ramrod in its place. This is a scarce gun and a well marked example that is complete and original with exception of ramrod assembly. CONDITION: Gun overall is good. Lock markings are easily discerned as is “VP” proof on bbl. Bbl date is faint but discernible and can be seen in photos. Metal overall is cleaned and gray with scattered pitting. Brass mounts have good yellow patina with scattered small nicks, dings and scratches. Stock is well worn but solid. Bore has discernible rifling but is pitted and brown other than first 2″ of bbl which must have originally been protected by a tompion. Rear sight appears to be from a later Civil War era Springfield, but was interchangeable with the type made when rifled. 4-44233 JS68 (3,000-4,000)
